Solitary neurofibroma of kidney: clinical, histological and chromosomal appearance

Int Urol Nephrol. 2003;35(1):11-3. doi: 10.1023/a:1025943827621.

Abstract

We present an unusual case of solitary renal mass that histological examination following nephrectomy confirms that it was a neurofibroma. Neoplasmatic markers though, were found elevated and chromosomal analysis revealed a Karyotype similar to the one found in adenocarcinomas of the kidney.
