| Summary: | Solid renal masses are generally distinguished with contrast enhancement
and intratumoral fatty foci by radiological examinations. The present of
enhancement is most important criteria for diagnosis of malignant lesions.
Generally, a contrast enhanced solid mass in kidney is accepted as a neoplasm.
Foreign body granuloma is an extraordinary cause of enhanced solid renal
mass. This case of a renal suture granuloma demonstrated peripheral
enhanced exophytic renal mass mimic renal cell carcinoma, and underwent
surgery. At the solid renal mass with different radiological features, biopsy
is an option to determining the necessity of surgery as well as the surgical
approach. |
