MRI findings of renal lymphangiectasia

J Magn Reson Imaging. 2005 Nov;22(5):681-3. doi: 10.1002/jmri.20437.

Abstract

We present the case of a 20-year-old male with renal lymphangiectasia who presented with hypertension and hematuria. We discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium-enhanced MR urography in confirming the diagnosis, extensions of this rare benign entity, and associated conditions.
