Abstract:
Renal leiomyoma is an uncommon neoplasm. The first case of solitary leiomyoma of the kidney was reported by Schluter in 1890. The preoperative diagnosis of renal leimyoma is very difficult, and the only definite method to distinguish between a leiomyoma and other renal tumor is microscopic evaluation. Herein, a case of leiomyoma of the kidney is reported in a 35 years old woman, with a brief review of literature.
