Abstract
Renal lymphangiectasia is a rare renal condition. We present a case of bilateral renal lymphangiectasia in a 52-year-old man who presented with bilateral flank pain and gross hematuria. The clinical features, diagnosis and characteristic imaging findings are reviewed. This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic renal masses in both children and adults.Keywords
