Introduction. Leiomyoma is a mesenchymal benign tumor that seldom manifests in the kidney. Typically, these tumors are small, asymptomatic, and often detected accidentally. Differentiating leiomyomas radiologically from other renal neoplasms, particularly renal cell carcinomas, poses a considerable challenge before surgical intervention. Moreover, the conclusive diagnosis of leiomyomas can only be established through histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation following surgical intervention. Case Report. We present a case of a 44-year-old woman who was diagnosed with right kidney leiomyoma accidentally during a computed tomography examination following exploratory curettage by a gynecologist. An enhanced computed tomography scan revealed a 10 mm tumor located on the upper pole of the right kidney, extending beyond its boundaries. The imaging differential diagnosis was renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney. A laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed. Macroscopically, the tumor appeared subcapsular, well-defined, with a firm consistency and a tan-white whorled cut surface. The histological characteristics and the supporting immunohistochemical profile confirmed the diagnosis of renal leiomyoma. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the 3rd postoperative day. Conclusion. Leiomyomas are rare kidney tumors. A conclusive diagnosis is established through histopathological findings. The pre-operative differentiation of leiomyomas radiologically from other renal neoplasms, particularly renal cell carcinomas, poses a considerable challenge in radiological assessment.

Caso clínico: Los leiomiomas son tumores mesenquimatosos benignos que infrecuentemente afectan el tracto urinario. El uso generalizado de estudios de imagen ha aumentado su detección en pacientes asintomáticos. Materiales y métodos: Análisis descriptivo de pacientes con diagnóstico histopatológico de leiomioma del tracto urinario en el Hospital General de Albacete entre los años 2012 a 2020. Resultados: Identificamos 7 casos (2 leiomiomas renales, 4 leiomiomas vesicales y 1 caso con leiomioma vesical y renal). En el leiomioma renal la edad media fue de 79 años y en el vesical de 39 años. La mayor parte de los leiomiomas renales se presentaron como un hallazgo incidental en el estudio intraoperatorio de trasplante renal y los leiomiomas vesicales como un hallazgo radiológico. Hubo predominio del sexo femenino en ambos tipos de leiomiomas. El tamaño medio tumoral renal fue de 0.73 cm y en el vesical de 4.75 cm. El diagnóstico definitivo se realizó mediante biopsia renal y biopsia-RTU vesical. Histológicamente estaban constituidos por células musculares lisas dispuestas en fascículos entrecruzados sin mitosis, atipia nuclear ni necrosis tumoral. La nefrectomía y la cistectomía parcial constituyeron el principal tratamiento quirúrgico. Durante el seguimiento no se detectaron recidivas. Conclusiones: Los estudios de imagen nos orientan al diagnóstico, pero el diagnóstico definitivo precisa estudio histopatológico e inmunohistoquímico. El tipo de cirugía depende del tamaño y localización del leiomioma. Su pronóstico es bueno.
