• Genetic conditions, such as Sturge-Weber-Krabbe syndrome or von Hippel Lindau (vHL) disease, may increase the risk of Kidney Hemangioma
• There are no known causes for the condition; however, some are known to arise from generalized hemangiomatosis within the liver, intestines, or brain
• Although many cases of Kidney Hemangiomas may be asymptomatic, they may present with the most common symptom, which is hematuria (blood in urine). Life-threatening complications, such as hemorrhage, can occur in some cases
• A preoperative diagnosis of the condition is very difficult to establish. A series of tests may be used to diagnose Kidney Hemangioma that includes (but is not limited to) MRI scan and angiography
• Kidney Hemangiomas are typically benign and do not cause any symptoms; therefore, most individuals do not require treatment. Severe cases may be treated using radiation therapy, laser-assisted ablation, endoscopic surgery, nephron sparing surgery, or a radical nephrectomy
