A rare inflammatory pseudotumor, not cancer, was found in a man's kidney after months of abdominal pain. This condition, usually seen in the bladder or prostate, is seldom diagnosed in the kidney.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Renal cell adenocarcinoma is a common kidney malignancy.
  • Abdominal pain, fever, and hematuria can indicate serious renal pathology.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old man presented with persistent abdominal pain following initial fever and hematuria.
  • Imaging suggested renal cell adenocarcinoma, leading to a radical nephrectomy.
  • Post-operative pathology revealed inflammatory pseudotumor, not malignancy.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed inflammatory pseudotumor of the urogenital tract.
  • This diagnosis is rare in the kidney, though more common in the bladder and prostate.
  • The patient's symptoms were attributed to this benign inflammatory condition.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses even with concerning initial presentations.
  • Underscores the need for accurate histopathological analysis to differentiate benign from malignant renal masses.
  • Contributes to the understanding of inflammatory pseudotumors in the kidney, aiding future clinical management.
