Abstract

Chronic unilateral hematuria due to hemangioma of the renal papilla is endoscopically treatable. Hemangiomas of the renal papilla are usually located at the tip of the renal papilla. However in this case, the hemangioma was not located at the tip of the renal papilla, forcing the patient to exercise until just before surgery and to keep the renal pelvic pressure low to identify the hemangioma.

Keywords: Chronic unilateral hematuria; Renal hemangioma.
