Idiopathic renal replacement lipomatosis: a rare renal pseudo tumor.
[liposarcoma]
Renal
replacement
lipomatosis
(
RRL
)
is
a
rare
condition
that
occurs
as
an
end
result
of
renal
atrophy
or
destruction
of
renal
parenchyma
by
excessive
lipomatous
tissue
in
renal
sinus
and
perinephric
space
.
We
report
a
case
of
RRL
presenting
as
a
right
renal
mass
clinically
.
Intra-
venous
pyelography
and
renal
scan
revealed
a
left
non-functioning
kidney
.
A
left
nephrectomy
was
performed
.
After
histopathological
examination
and
extensive
literature
search
,
a
diagnosis
of
RRL
was
given
.
In
majority
of
cases
,
it
is
associated
with
renal
calculi
.
Idiopathic
variety
is
not
common
.
It
is
a
rare
entity
and
the
diagnosis
may
be
missed
due
to
lack
of
experience
.
It
has
to
be
differentiated
from
other
fat-containing
tumors
such
as
renal
lipoma
,
xanthogranulomatous
pyelonephritis
,
angiomyolipoma
and
liposarcoma
.
