Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A renal capsular leiomyoma was misdiagnosed as renal cell carcinoma preoperatively. Intraoperative findings allowed for renal-sparing surgery, highlighting leiomyoma in differential diagnoses for renal masses.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Exophytic renal masses are frequently suspected to be renal cell carcinoma.
  • Preoperative imaging modalities like ultrasound, CT, and arteriography aid in diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A case presented with an exophytic renal mass initially diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma.
  • Intraoperative assessment revealed the mass to be a leiomyoma of the renal capsule.

Findings:

  • Renal capsular leiomyoma can mimic renal cell carcinoma on preoperative imaging.
  • Accurate intraoperative diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

Implications:

  • Renal capsular leiomyoma should be included in the differential diagnosis for apparent renal cell carcinoma.
  • This distinction is vital for planning conservative, renal-sparing surgical approaches.
