“…It may develop in obesity, Cushing's syndrome or renal atrophy. And also use of exogenous steroids may cause renal lipomatosis (3,4). The severe loss of parenchyma with massive fat deposition is associated with inflammatory changes and calculi in 76-79% of cases (2).…”

Renal replacement lipomatosis of the kidney is characterized by renal sinus and perirenal fat proliferation. It is associated with chronic infection and calculi, commonly central, often obstructing. The kidney may be large or small but is usually nonfunctioning. Most of the renal parenchyma has been replaced by fat, pararenal fascia are thickened, and there may be fistulae. We reported radiological findings of renal replacement lipomatosis in a 55 year-old man.

“…Ultrasound does not usually help, as it produces images of a space-occupying lesion with a density higher than that of the renal parenchyma and, as in our case, impossible to differen tiate from a renal carcinoma [4,6]. Computer tomogra phy usually helps in separating the two entities [5,7,8,12], and in our case the final preoperative diagnosis was that of an angiomyolipoma. Angiography is the most helpful imaging method, usually capable of excluding malignancy.…”
