Abstract
An exophytic renal mass was diagnosed preoperatively as renal cell carcinoma by ultrasoud, computerized tomography and arteriography. Intraoperative recognition of the proper diagnosis of leiomyoma of the renal capsule permitted renal-sparing excision. Renal capsular leiomyoma should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of an apparent exophytic renal cell carcinoma.
