Abstract: Renal hemangioma is considered a rela-tively rare disease. VirchowD described the first case from an autopsy specimen in 1867 and through 1967 more than 150 cases have been recorded in the worldZ). In Japan, the first case was found at an autopsy by Fukuda3) in 1911 and Senzaki et al. 4) collected 34 cases from the literature up to February 1973. Recently we ex-amined 2 patients having unusual signs and symptoms associated with the pathological demonstration of renal hemangioma. Some pathological and clinical observations are given about 37 cases in the Japanese literature including our 2 cases. Pathological studies indicate that renal hemangioma may occur either in the renal parenchyma or pelvis. The parenchymal tumor is found in various locations, most frequently in the medulla. Analysis of clinical studies shows that renal hemangioma does not always occur in patients under 40 years of age, in whom malignancy is uncommon. Preoperative diagnosis is still difficult, but the correct diagnosis can be made preoperatively using various clinical examinations. CASE REPORTS
