【 摘 要 】
Introduction Since the diagnosis of small renal masses is often a challenge despite improvements in imaging modalities, renal tumor biopsy provides useful information regarding treatment decisions. However, there is no established treatment strategy when renal biopsy shows lymphoid tissue. Case presentation A 63-year-old woman was referred to our department for the investigation of a small renal mass. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a weakly enhancing mass 39 × 17 mm in diameter in the left kidney. A renal tumor biopsy was performed, and histopathological examination showed lymphoid tissue, but the diagnosis was not confirmed. The tumor was bluntly dissected from the renal capsule via robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery without renal artery clamping. The pathological diagnosis was non-specific lymphadenitis. Conclusion We report a rare case of perirenal non-specific lymphadenitis mimicking a solitary renal mass. Non-specific lymphadenitis is a possible differential diagnosis of renal masses.
