Abstract

A case of renal medullary fibroma in a woman is presented. A CT scan, which was performed for examination of cholelithiasis, incidentally revealed a mass in the left renal pelvis, and retrograde pyelography showed a filling defect in the same site. Left nephrectomy was performed. Histological examination revealed a renal medullary fibroma. The diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas associated with this condition are discussed.
