Anastomosing haemangioma is a rare benign vascular neoplasm, which may mimic angiosarcoma histologically. We here present a case of anastomosing haemangioma arising from the kidney. This patient presented with a large kidney mass and adrenal mass. The clinical and radiological findings were suspicious for renal cell carcinoma with metastasis. Radical nephrectomy and adrenalectomy were thus performed. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical studies concluded a diagnosis of anastomosing haemangioma of the kidney and concurrent adrenal cortical adenoma. It is important to differentiate this tumor from other borderline or malignant vascular neoplasms.
