Renal capsular hemangioma.
We present a rare example of hemangioma of the renal capsule. This benign mesenchymal tumor can present diagnostic difficulties, since it can radiographically and macroscopically simulate more common tumors of the kidney, including renal cell carcinoma. If the diagnosis is made or suspected preoperatively or during surgery a more conservative surgical approach should be considered.
