Abstract
Lymphangioma cavernosum of the kidney is a benign tumor. Metastases were not found in any of the 20 cases reported to date. The sex ratio of patients is 1.5:1, favoring female subjects. Average patient age is 33.7 yr. Treatment consisted of nephrectomy in 18 patients, since the possibility of a malignant tumor could not be eliminated preoperatively.
