Abstract
- Excessive proliferation of peripelvic fat of the kidney simulating a peripelvic tumor is a rare condition. Excessive proliferation of peripelvic fat of the kidney is a benign process with an innocuous effect on the patient but this condition may produce pyelocalyceal deformities that may be mistaken for pelvic or peripelvic neoplasm. We report a case of excessive proliferation of peripelvic fat of the kidney simulating a peripelvic liposarcoma in 63-year-old-man, who was treated by radical nephrectomy. Pathologic findings revealed excessive proliferation of peripelvic fat in the resected kidney postoperatively.
