Perinephric panniculitis.
Panniculitis is an inflammatory condition of adipose tissue that is mainly seen subcutaneously or intra-abdominally. There have been rare case reports of retroperitoneal involvement but no reported cases of perinephric panniculitis. To our knowledge we report the first documented case of perinephric panniculitis.
