Abstract

A 30-year-old immunocompetent female presented with right flank pain since 3 years. MRI revealed a large well-defined T1 and T2 hypointense mildly enhancing lesion in the right anterior pararenal space displacing the right kidney and encasing the right ureter with T2 hyperintense wall thickening of the left renal pelvis and ureter. A provisional diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumour was kept. Bilateral double J stenting was done for hydronephrosis. Surgical debulking of the lesion was done with biopsy from the left periureteral wall thickening and was found to be myelolipoma on histopathological examination. This case is a novel variety of myelolipoma which is lipid poor, extra-adrenal and in bilateral perirenal and periureteric location.
