A rare renal leiomyoma was found in an asymptomatic patient. This benign tumor requires consideration in kidney mass differential diagnoses, often confirmed post-nephrectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Renal leiomyomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumors.
  • They can present as asymptomatic solid masses in the kidney.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old male presented with an asymptomatic solid renal mass detected via ultrasound and CT scan.
  • The mass was treated with radical nephrectomy.

Findings:

  • Pathological examination confirmed the renal mass as a leiomyoma.
  • The postoperative course was uneventful.

Implications:

  • Renal leiomyoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal masses.
  • Accurate preoperative differentiation from renal cell carcinoma is challenging, often necessitating post-surgical histological analysis.
