title: Endoscopic management of renal lymphangioma: a case report.
abstract: A 46-year-old woman presented with total painless gross hematuria, an 8-mm polypoid mass that proved to be a lymphangioma was found in the upper pole collecting system of the left kidney. The mass was resected ureteroscopically with holmium laser fulguration of the base. The few reported cases of this rare lesion suggest that rigorous postoperative surveillance is not necessary for this benign condition.
