摘要
Renal arteriovenous malformation is a rare condition. It is usually asymptomatic. When symptomatic, it presents with hematuria, flank pain, a mass on renal imaging and abnormal radiologic findings. It can mimic renal cell carcinoma. The diagnosis and treatment of renal arteriovenous malformations are different from those of renal cell carcinoma. We described a renal arteriovenous malformation mimicking renal cell carcinoma. A 35-year old man was admitted to the hospital with a history of right flank pain. Computerized tomography scan of the patient revealed a right renal mass, enhancing on contrast imaging. The patient underwent right simple nephrectomy. Pathologic examination of the nephrectomy specimen revealed a congenital cystic arteriovenous malformation. We suggest that it is essential to make a differential diagnosis of any lesion mimicking renal cell carcinoma.
