Congenital Capillary Proliferation of the Kidney: A Distinctive Renal Vascular Lesion of Childhood

Renal vascular lesions (RVL) are rare and their morphological spectrum remains largely unknown, particularly in children. In this study, we characterize the clinicopathological features of RVL in a cohort of twelve children. Seven lesions were classified as previously recognized entities: vascular malformations (four), papillary endothelial hyperplasia (two), and pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma) (one). An eighth lesion showed nonspecific findings which were interpreted as reactive during our review.
