“…The mouse model showed a severe cystic kidney phenotype similar to renal lymphangiectasia [ 1 ]. Finally, this alteration dilates the renal lymphatic structures, leading to fluid-filled cavities, which are primarily simple cystic spaces, but they may be septated and located mainly in the renal sinus [ 2 ].…”

Renal lymphangiectasia, a rare entity of the renal lymphatic system affecting both genders and all ages, can manifest bilaterally or unilaterally and has been referred to by various terms, such as renal lymphangiomatosis, renal lymphangioma, and others. Distinguishing this condition from common pathologies, such as polycystic kidney disease or hydronephrosis, is crucial. This article presents an innovative clinical case of unilateral renal lymphangiectasia in a 67-year-old woman with a relevant medical history. Detection was achieved by ultrasound in primary care using the point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) technique under the focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST) protocol, revealing findings suggestive of renal lymphangiomatosis. This case highlights the utility of advanced technologies, such as bedside ultrasound, in addressing and transforming the approach to rare medical conditions, offering a compelling reminder of the positive influence of technological innovation in clinical practice.

“…Furthermore, research in mice reveals a relationship with vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C), which could be involved in its development [ 1 ]. This alteration favors the dilation of the renal lymphatic systems, which gives rise to fluid-filled cavities, generally simple cysts [ 2 ].…”

Renal lymphangiomatosis is a rare pathology wherein dilatation of perirenal, parapelvic, and intrarenal lymphatics is observed and can occur in both children and adults. It has no gender predilection and can present in unilateral and bilateral forms. Clinical symptomatology ranges from incidental findings to flank pain, hematuria, and abdominal swelling.Radiological appearances may mimic renal cysts, peripelvic cysts, perinephric abscesses, or collections. This emphasizes the importance of developing familiarity with the imaging characteristics of this rare entity.We present the case of an 11-year-old boy whose chief complaint was abdominal distension and bilateral flank pain. The radiological assessment revealed bilateral perinephric collections, which, along with clinical correlation, led to the diagnosis of bilateral peri-renal lymphangiomatosis.

“…Renal Lymphangiectasia (RLT), also referred to as renal lymphangiomatosis, represents a distinct subset of retroperitoneal lymphangiomas characterized by ectasia of perirenal, peripelvic, and in some cases intrarenal lymphatic channels [ 1 , 2 ]. RLT does not exhibit a gender predilection and affects all ages equivalently [2] .…”

“…Renal lymphangiectasia (RLT) is a rare benign retroperitoneal lymphatic disorder characterized by ectasia of the perirenal and peripelvic lymphatic channels [1] . Given its rarity, there is a scarcity of literature describing this condition.…”
