ABSTRACT
A middle-aged female patient who presented with back pain was found incidentally to have a renal mass by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Further imaging, including computerized tomography (CT) with contrast, suggested a high likelihood of malignancy. Following surgical resection, the tumor was found to be a rare benign lesion on subsequent pathological examination. The patient had conservative treatment for her presenting spine issues and is doing very well. Prompt work-up and treatment of incidental findings by the team of primary care, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, radiologists, pathologists, and surgeons helped to ensure a good outcome. Residents had a learning opportunity about the disease and on timely management of incidental findings.
