Abstract
Five patients with renal cell carcinoma were noted at angiography to have vascular hepatic lesions which resembled metastatic renal cell carcinoma but which proved to be benign hepatic hemangiomas. The angiographic differentiation between small hemangiomas and metastatic vascular neoplasms of the liver can be difficult. Angiographic characteristics may not be definitive. Surgery to remove the renal tumor should not be deferred solely on the basis of vascular hepatic lesions found at angiography.
