Abstract

We present a case in which renal mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) was considered in the differential diagnosis based on preoperative imaging findings. A 38-year-old woman was found to have a right renal tumor during an abdominal ultrasound examination conducted as part of a health checkup. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a 50 × 40-mm mass in the middle of the right kidney. The possibility of papillary renal cell carcinoma was considered. However, given the patient's age, sex, and characteristics of the mass, MEST was also considered a differential diagnosis. The patient underwent laparoscopic radical right nephrectomy. The tumor was diagnosed as MEST.

期刊介绍： SAGE Open Medical Case Reports (indexed in PubMed Central) is a peer reviewed, open access journal. It aims to provide a publication home for short case reports and case series, which often do not find a place in traditional primary research journals, but provide key insights into real medical cases that are essential for physicians, and may ultimately help to improve patient outcomes. SAGE Open Medical Case Reports does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers are subject to rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, SAGE Open Medical Case Reports facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers, whether within or between disciplines. Case reports can span the full spectrum of medicine across the health sciences in the broadest sense, including: Allergy/Immunology Anaesthesia/Pain Cardiovascular Critical Care/ Emergency Medicine Dentistry Dermatology Diabetes/Endocrinology Epidemiology/Public Health Gastroenterology/Hepatology Geriatrics/Gerontology Haematology Infectious Diseases Mental Health/Psychiatry Nephrology Neurology Nursing Obstetrics/Gynaecology Oncology Ophthalmology Orthopaedics/Rehabilitation/Occupational Therapy Otolaryngology Palliative Medicine Pathology Pharmacoeconomics/health economics Pharmacoepidemiology/Drug safety Psychopharmacology Radiology Respiratory Medicine Rheumatology/ Clinical Immunology Sports Medicine Surgery Toxicology Urology Women''s Health.
