Congenital Capillary Proliferation of the Kidney
Renal vascular lesions (RVL) are rare and their morphological spectrum remains largely unknown, particularly in children.
Congenital capillary proliferation of the kidney (CCPK) may represent a malformation or neoplastic proliferation.
It shows overlapping features with congenital hemangioma of the liver (solitary congenital hepatic hemangioma - SCHH) and congenital nonprogressive hemangioma (CNH) of the skin and soft tissue, suggesting a possible common pathogenesis among these three entities.
