Abstract

In this editorial, we comment on the article by Chen and Cai. We focus on renal anastomotic hemangioma, which is a rare benign hemangiomatous disease. This disease has unique clinical characteristics. Its biological behavior is benign, but its imaging results are similar to those of renal cancer. Renal anastomotic hemangioma is easy to misdiagnose and can lead to unnecessary radical nephrectomy. Therefore, urologists need a better understanding of this disease. We believe that patients with renal anastomotic hemangioma should receive individualized diagnosis and treatment to avoid overtreatment.
