Abstract

Renomedullary interstitial cell tumors are often incidentally identified either upon autopsy or kidney resection for other reasons. However, rare renomedullary interstitial cell tumor cases resulting in a clinical symptomatic mass have been reported. We present a case of renomedullary interstitial cell tumor that was manifested as an incidentally detected renal mass and mimicked renal cell carcinoma on the imaging features.

신수질 간질세포 종양은 거의 대부분의 경우에서 부검 혹은 다른 원인에 의해 신장을 절제했을 때 우연히 발견된다. 하지만, 드물게 임상적인 증상을 보이는 신수질간질세포 종양의 경우도 보고되었다. 우연히 발견된 신장 종양으로 나타난 신수질 간질세포 종양이 영상 검사상 신세포종양을 모방하였던 증례를 보고한다.
