[A case of renal capsular liposarcoma].
A 53-year-old woman was admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine at our hospital with the primary complaint of pyrexia. Abdominal echography and computed tomography (CT) detected a right renal tumor, and the patient was transferred to our department. Angiography revealed a hypovascular tumor. The main nutrient vessels supplying the tumor were the superior and inferior capsular arteries, which arose from the renal artery. A right renal capsular tumor was suspected from these findings, and radical nephrectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a pleomorphic liposarcoma. Therefore, the patient was given 50 Gy of radiation postoperatively. This is the 14th case of a primary liposarcoma of the renal capsule reported in Japan.
