Abstract
Introduction
Hibernomas are benign tumors of brown adipose tissue. Hibernoma in the renal sinus is extremely rare. Herein, we present the third known case of renal hibernoma.
Case presentation
A 71-year-old man reported to our department with a left kidney tumor with an average growth rate of 5 mm/year and a progressive contrast effect on computed tomography. It was diagnosed as a hibernoma following a laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.
Conclusion
We encountered a rare case of a hibernoma in the renal sinus. Development of new and accurate diagnostic methods for hibernoma, without resorting to nephrectomy, is essential.
