Renal lymphangiectasia is an extremely rare benign condition in the setting of transplanted kidneys. We describe a 50-year-old female with a past medical history of lupus nephritis and renal transplants who presented with right lower quadrant pain and was found to have intrarenal lymphangiectasia on imaging and laboratory tests. The patient was treated with percutaneous drainage initially and then wide peritoneal fenestration and omentoplasty. An extremely rare adult case with intrarenal lymphangiectasia thirteen months after kidney transplant was described in this study. Imaging, particularly computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), plays a key role in the diagnosis of renal lymphangiectasia.

Endometriosis of the appendix is a very rare entity and commonly affects females in childbearing age. Clinical presentation might be confusing varying from asymptomatic to acute abdominal pain and often mimicks acute appendicitis or chronic pelvic pain. Diagnosis is generally made after pathological examination as operative findings are usually non-specific. This condition poses a diagnostic challenge to radiologists and surgeons altogether and we therefore report a case of a middle aged female who presented with both right lower quadrant and right lower back pain. Recent literature is reviewed and radiological findings discussed.
