Congenital renal artery aneurysm is uncommon. Moreover, renal artery aneurysm concomitant with a congenital renal arteriovenous fistula is extremely rare. Transarterial embolization is the first-line treatment for these conditions. We report a case of a patient with congenital renal artery aneurysm concomitant with a congenital renal arteriovenous fistula of the upper polar left renal artery which was successfully treated by transarterial embolization with coil, glue, and Amplatzer vascular plug.

Retroperitoneal lipoma presenting with a nutcracker-like phenomenon is extremely rare. I experienced a case of a 65-year-old man presenting with left flank pain and macrohematuria intermittently for 3 years. Computed tomography revealed a lipoma at the left pedicle of the kidney, 30 mm in diameter, causing a curving of the left renal artery and dilatation of the left renal vein. This patient was treated successfully by retroperitoneoscopic resection of the lipoma. There have been no symptoms for 10 years after the operation.

Purpose: To present a renal artery aneurysm that was treated successfully by endoluminal grafting. Case Report: A 48-year-old woman presented with a 2.5-cm saccular left renal artery aneurysm. A Jostent coronary stent-graft was placed transluminally into the left renal artery via a femoral artery cutdown. After 12 months, renal function remained normal, and computed tomography revealed normal kidney perfusion with complete resolution of the renal artery aneurysm. Conclusions: The advances in endovascular stent-grafts will allow more visceral artery aneurysms to be treated with a minimally invasive approach.

Introduction. Neuroblastomas arise in the case of intimate association of the tumor with large vessels and internal organs. The early detailed stratification of cancer risk, as well as forecasting possible complications of surgery based on visual diagnostic methods, contribute to the improving the results in this category of patients. Material and methods. The study analyzes the results of the diagnosis and treatment of neuroblastoma of thoracoabdominal localization in 9 children aged from 9 to 55 months. All of them received the treatment according to the NB-2004 protocol. Before surgical intervention, the factors of the surgical risk were estimated from computed tomography with contrast, the number of factors averaged of 5. Results. The inclusion of the left renal artery and aorta into the tumor was revealed intraoperatively in 8 children, the involvement of the left renal vein, the right renal artery, the superior mesenteric artery was found in 7 patients, the right renal vein, the celiac trunk - in 6 cases, and the other large vessels - in a smaller number of cases. Damages of the right renal vein in 2 patients, left renal vein - in 2 children, aorta - in 1 child, inferior vena cava - in 2 observations and celiac trunk in 1 patient was sutured without subsequent complications. After injury and suturing of the inferior vena cava in a 1 patient, there was revealed a parietal thrombus without clinically significant hemodynamic disturbances. In 1 observation, postoperative thrombosis of the left renal artery caused the deterioration of the blood flow requiring nephrectomy. Damage to the pancreas in 1 child was accompanied by a long drainage and the formation of pancreatojejunostomy. The volume of the resection of the tumor amounted on average of 93%. The total number of complications in the early postoperative period accounted for 44%, out of which repeated surgical interventions were required in case of bleeding against the therapy of renal artery thrombosis in 1 patient and focal pancreatic necrosis in the 1 patient. The duration of postoperative follow-up was of 18 months. Overall survival is 100%, the event-free survival rate is of 78%. The continued growth of the tumor was registered in 2 patients in the high-risk group. Discussion. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy contributed to the enhancement of the radicalization of the surgical treatment, leading to a decrease in the size of the primary focus, metastases, and involvement of large vessels and internal organs in the tumor. The radical removal of neuroblastoma is acceptable in the absence of the invasive growth in the walls of large vessels and internal organs, otherwise, the resection should be performed for the purpose of cytoreduction and prevention of organ failure due to tumor compression.

Objectives. To discuss an unusual presentation of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) as well as the first description of SFT originating from the renal vein. Case Report. In this article, we report the case of a 56-year-old man who presented with nonspecific epigastric pain and was found on computed tomography to have a large 10-cm renal artery aneurysm with evidence of contained rupture, segmental ischemia of the kidney, and suggestion of renal vein thrombosis. This was treated by a multidisciplinary team of urologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional radiologists with both renal artery coil embolization and radical nephrectomy. The thrombosis was found on pathologic review to be a malignant SFT originating from the renal vein with likely erosion into the renal artery. Conclusion. This report describes the first case of SFT originating from the renal vein and demonstrates the potential for mimicry as a giant renal artery aneurysm.

Forniceal ruptures after acute pyelonephritis are relatively common. Bilateral spontaneous subcapsular haematoma (SSCH) is an uncommon sequela to pyelonephritis. We report a case of SSCH where the underlying cause of haematoma was a vascular anomaly. A 38-year-old woman with diabetes presented with fever, flank pain and shock following cystoscopy and Double J stenting done elsewhere. CT abdomen showed left subcapsular renal haematoma, managed by pigtail insertion. Postoperative CT showed right renal subcapsular haematoma and left moderate renal subcapsular haematoma. Renal angiogram showed pseudo-aneurysm on the left middle polar artery for which selective embolisation was performed. Physicians and urologists who come across SSCH for which no definite aetiology could be identified should keep in mind the possibility of an underlying vascular anomaly that could precipitate such a condition. The purpose of this report is to highlight the importance of remembering vascular causes in such unexplained cases of SSCH.
