 note = {Introduction. Cavernous hemangiomas are common benign tumors of the skin or liver but can also rarely originate from the retroperitoneal space, especially adjacent to the renal hilum. Qualitative characterization of these retroperitoneal tumors using available imaging modalities is relatively difficult. Case presentation. A 40-year-old Japanese woman was incidentally noted to have a round homogenous tumor adjacent to the left renal hilum on computed tomography. The preoperative diagnosis was paraganglioma according to hormonal and clinical findings. The tumor was successfully resected via a laparoscopic approach, and histopathological examination of the tumor revealed cavernous hemangioma. Conclusions: Cavernous hemangioma is a rare but relatively benign disease when considering the different types of retroperitoneal tumors. We were able to effectively treat the retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma via laparoscopy., Journal of Medical Case Reports, 8(1), 73, 2014},
