Abstract

A 55-year-old man presented with an exophytic asymptomatic right renal lower-pole mass simulating a renal-cell carcinoma. He underwent retroperitoneoscopic partial nephrectomy, and histopathologic examination revealed a chronic renal infarct with calcifications. We report this case to stimulate the inclusion of focal chronic renal infarct in the differential diagnosis of asymptomatic renal masses, as well as to advocate a minimally invasive approach to appropriate renal lesions.
