Neurilemoma of the renal capsule: MR imaging and pathologic correlation.
We report a case of neurilemoma arising from the renal capsule. Renal neurilemoma is an especially rare tumor, with only 15 cases previously reported. We attempted to correlate MR findings with microscopic components of the tumor. On T2-weighted images the solid part of the tumor was heterogeneous hyperintense. The MR signal intensity on T2-weighted images help estimate microscopic components of the renal neurilemoma.
