[Report of a case of leiomyoma of the kidney].
The authors report a case of leiomyoma of the renal capsule. Although leiomyoma is a frequent tumour in the uterus, leiomyomas of the urinary tract are very rarely reported in the literature. This tumour has an excellent prognosis. In rare cases, the diagnosis may be suggested by CT scan, but histological examination confirms the diagnosis of benign tumour.
