    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urologic Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Peripelvic renal fat proliferation is a rare condition that can mimic renal pelvic tumors.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and to avoid unnecessary nephrectomy.

    Observation:

    • The third reported case of excessive peripelvic fat proliferation is presented.
    • This condition mimicked a renal pelvic tumor on imaging studies.

    Findings:

    • The study details the successful salvage of the kidney in this case, a first for this syndrome.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed benign peripelvic fat proliferation.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of peripelvic fat proliferation and its clinical presentation.

  • Highlights the importance of considering benign conditions that simulate malignancy in renal pelvic masses.
  • Successful kidney salvage in this scenario offers a positive prognostic indicator for similar future cases.
