title: Massive haematuria from a renal haemangioma with concomitant ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
abstract: A two centimeter left capillary renal haemangioma caused massive haematuria in a 27-year-old male with left hydronephrosis and nephrolithiasis. Nephrectomy for life threatening haemorrhage was performed. Diagnostic algorithms for the evaluation of adult onset gross haematuria and "essential" haematuria with a review of the current literature are presented.
