INTRODUCTION: Renal lymphangiomatosis is a rare congenital benign disease of
renal lymphatic system, here we are presenting a very rare form of disease which
is bilateral form. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: A young adult presented to our
clinic after being referred from primary care clinic with intermittent bilateral
flank pain and no other symptoms after extensive radiological investigations
diagnosis has been made and confirmed by radiological finding of disease. Active
treatment usually preserved for complex cases and for the complications of the
disease but in our patient as needed analgesia worked well in controlling his
intermittent pain and his wish not to pursue any intervention. The vague
presentation with initial imaging rising suspicion of renal tumor or complex
renal cyst might cause psychological street on the patient, which our patient
had, but reassurance after extensive radiological work up relive that's stress.
DISCUSSION: Although it is very rare disease to be bilateral but wide variety of
other differential diagnoses make importance of disease recognition and accurate
diagnosis is the key. CONCLUSION: Renal lymphangiomatosis is a rare benign
disease of renal lymphatic, which usually affect one side, but bilateral form is
very rare form, which may raise the suspicions of genetic form of renal
malignancy. Accurate diagnosis requires work up to role out malignant and other
renal tumor, which require active surgical management.
