Core Tip

Core Tip: Renal anastomosing hemangioma (AH) is a rare benign vascular tumor characterized by unique histopathological features. We reported a highly unusual case of renal AH, where the AH occurred secondarily in the remaining kidney tissue following a partial nephrectomy for renal clear cell carcinoma. This case report describes the imaging characteristics of a patient with rare renal AH and a history of renal clear cell carcinoma, including ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. We hope that our case contributes to a broader understanding of the differential diagnosis of new lesions after nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.
