Chronic renal infarct simulating renal mass: diagnostic challenge.
A 36-year-old male presented with symptomatic left renal mass simulating renal cell carcinoma. He underwent left radical nephrectomy and histopathology revealed chronic renal infarct with calcifications. The case description warrants the inclusion of focal chronic renal infarcts in the differential diagnosis of renal masses, especially following history of previous trauma.
