Only 13 cases of adrenal hemangiomas have been reported, none studied angiographically. Two additional cases, evaluated preoperatively, are presented. The radiographic finding of phleboliths, when present, with the characteristic angiographic appearance of hemangiomas, allows the radiologist to correctly diagnose this benign tumor preoperatively, and where surgical risk is high, prevent a serious operative procedure.
An unusual case of dissimilar histologic neoplasms in the same kidney is presented. An 86-year-old man had renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma in the same kidney eight years after therapy for urinary bladder carcinoma. These two different types of neoplasms were identified preoperatively by angiography. A peculiar hamartoma was also found in the same kidney.
