Renal lymphangiectasia associated with chronic myeloid leukemia

الملخص EN

Renal lymphangiectasia is a rare disorder characterized by dilatation of peripelvic, renal and perirenal lymphatic ducts.

The exact etiology is not known.

Congenital forms and acquired forms have been described.

The latter has been attributed to obstruction of draining retroperitoneal lymphatic ducts caused by either infection, inflammation or any other cause.

We describe the rare association of renal lymphangiectasia with chronic myeloid leukemia, which is probably not yet reported in the medical literature.
