We report a case of neurilemoma arising from the renal capsule. Renal neurilemoma is an especially rare tumor, with only 15 cases previously reported. We attempted to correlate MR findings with microscopic components of the tumor. On T2-weighted images the solid part of the tumor was heterogeneous hyperintense. The MR signal intensity on T2-weighted images help estimate microscopic components of the renal neurilemoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
