title: Sporadic renal haemangioblastoma: Case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Haemangioblastoma is a benign tumour which generally occurs in a relatively restricted area of the central nervous system. Renal haemangioblastoma are extremely rare. We report a rare case of renal haemangioblastoma occurring in a 61-year-old male with a solid mass, which was detected during a routine examination. The patient was asymptomatic and abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a solid mass in the right kidney. No definitive preoperative diagnosis could be established. Surgical resection of the tumour revealed sporadic renal haemangioblastoma by pathological examination. The patient was followed up at 1 year without any problems. We also present a supplementary review of previously published cases and literature.
