Summary

Renal leiomyomas, rare benign kidney tumors, present diagnostic challenges due to non-specific symptoms. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for appropriate management of these uncommon renal masses.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Renal leiomyomas are rare benign tumors originating from the kidney's mesenchymal tissue.
  • Their low incidence and non-specific presentation complicate differential diagnosis from other renal masses.

Observation:

  • A case of a large, incidentally discovered solid left renal mass was reported.
  • The patient underwent radical nephrectomy, revealing a kidney pelvis leiomyoma.

Findings:

  • The study reviews diagnostic, histological, and therapeutic aspects of renal leiomyomas.
  • High suspicion is warranted for large, asymptomatic renal masses in middle-aged women, especially those with defined borders and no signs of spread.

Implications:

  • Magnetic Angioresonance and immunohistochemical tests are valuable for diagnosis.
  • Conservative surgery may be an option for small, preoperatively confirmed renal leiomyomas.
