title: Bilateral peripelvic fat simulating renal pelvic tumor.
abstract: Lipomas are benign tumors which may simulate peripelvic masses and usually originate in the renal cortex or the perirenal adipose tissue. Excessive proliferation of the peripelvic fat of the kidney simulating a renal pelvic tumor was detected in our case, illustrating a rare instance in which the kidney was salvaged.
