Abstract:
Renal leiomyomas are rare benign tumours, which are usually small in size and incidentally discovered in most of cases. We report a case of giant renal leiomyoma encasing the right kidney in a 55 year old lady. We review the spectrum of features seen in reported leiomyomas on imaging and gross appearance. We discuss the differential diagnosis and highlight the fact that renal leiomyoma, although rare, must be considered in the differential diagnosis of spindle cell lesions of the kidney and that this tumour may present as a huge renal mass.
