ANDREU GARCIA, Angel et al. Renal leiomyoma: case report. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2006, vol.59, n.1, pp.81-84. ISSN 0004-0614.
Objectives: To report a new case of asymptomatic capsular leiomyoma. Methods: 68-year-old male asymptomatic patient who was diagnosed of solid mass after a radiological study (ultrasound and CT scan). Results: The treatment of this neoplasia was radicalnephrectomy, with an uneventful postoperative course and a pathology report of renal leiomyoma. Conclusions: Renal leiomyoma is a rare benignmesenchymal tumor that should be taken into consideration for the differential diagnosis of renal masses, because it would be an indication for nephron-sparing surgery; nevertheless, due to the difficulties to differentiate it from renal cell carcinoma it is not rare that the diagnosis is achieved after histological study of the nephrectomy specimen.
