Renal lymphangiomatosis is a rare pathology wherein dilatation of perirenal, parapelvic, and intrarenal lymphatics is observed and can occur in both children and adults. It has no gender predilection and can present in unilateral and bilateral forms. Clinical symptomatology ranges from incidental findings to flank pain, hematuria, and abdominal swelling. Radiological appearances may mimic renal cysts, peripelvic cysts, perinephric abscesses, or collections. This emphasizes the importance of developing familiarity with the imaging characteristics of this rare entity. We present the case of an 11-year-old boy whose chief complaint was abdominal distension and bilateral flank pain. The radiological assessment revealed bilateral perinephric collections, which, along with clinical correlation, led to the diagnosis of bilateral peri-renal lymphangiomatosis.
