[Fat necrosis arising in the perinerhrium].
The patient was a 74-year-old woman. During the investigation for abdominal pain, a mass lesion was detected adjacent to the left kidney using ultrasound. The left radical nephrectomy was performed under a clinical diagnosis of liposarcoma. Histological examination revealed fat necrosis with hemorrhage arising in the perinephrium. No tumor cells were confirmed microscopically. We reviewed the literature, but there found, no case reports of fat necrosis arising in the perinephrium, except for reports in rats or cows.
