Inflammatory pseudotumor (myoblastic tumor) of the genitourinary tract.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this article is to describe imaging features of the following genitourinary tract locations that can involve inflammatory pseudotumor: kidney, adrenal gland, retroperitoneum or pelvis, bladder, and other rare locations.


CONCLUSIONS
Although definite radiologic differentiation from malignancy is not clearly possible, we suggest that familiarity with the manifestations of inflammatory pseudotumor can help avoid unnecessary radical surgery before histopathologic proof of malignancy is obtained.
