Abstract

A 53-year-old male patient presented with an incidental finding of a left kidney mass after being evaluated for elevated serum creatinine without having any symptoms. The left kidney mass was confirmed by ultrasound, computed tomography 'CT' scan and magnetic resonance imaging 'MRI'. A left radical nephrectomy was done, and histopathology confirmed the presence of intrarenal neurofibroma with no evidence of malignancy.

Keywords: benign; case report; kidney tumor; nephrectomy; neurofibroma.
