A case of the renal medullary fibroma / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Renal medullary fibromas which are arisen from the interstitial cell of the renal medulla show small, multiple nodules on autopsy Findings over age 50, but they are very rare clinically. thus several cases have been reported until 1982. When the tumors are large. their clinical presentation is characterized by loin pain, hematuria and palpable mass. The preoperative diagnosis with radiologic studies is very difficult and the confirmative diagnosis was made with pathologic finding. Nephrectomy has been the most common useful treatment and local excision can be used. We report a case of renal medullary interstitial cell fibroma in a 17-year-old girl presented with a child-head sized palpable mass on the left upper quadrant.
