Bulbous splenic vein as a cause of renal pseudotumor.
A number renal and suprarenal pseudotumors have been described during the past two decades, paralleling the development of selective visceral angiography. An apparent left upper pole renal mass in a 71-year-old hypertensive man was found to ba a bulbous portion of the splenic vein during angiography. The anatomical basis of this renal pseudotumor is discussed.
