title: [A rare renal tumor: cavernous hemangioma. Apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the kidney, a rare benign tumor. The interest of this case is probably to be the only one reported with MRI: an high signal intensity T2 in weight sequence could represent in the future a good information for the diagnosis. Endoscopic methods are useful for the diagnosis, but cannot be used for therapy. The treatment is surgical. Selective embolisation could be a good alternative in the future.
