title: Renal leiomyoma: a case report.
abstract: We report a case of renal leiomyoma. A 46-year-old woman was found incidentally to have a solid and cystic renal mass on computerized tomography. The angiogram revealed no neovascularity. Nephrectomy was performed. Histologically, it was diagnosed as renal leiomyoma of vascular type. Although preoperative diagnosis of renal leiomyoma is difficult due to the various radiological findings, we should always consider this tumor in the differential diagnosis of renal tumors.
