# Intrarenal neurofibroma: unveiling a diagnostic challenge—a case report and literature review

## TL;DR

A 53-year-old man had a kidney mass diagnosed as a non-cancerous intrarenal neurofibroma after imaging and surgery.

## Contribution

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenge of intrarenal neurofibroma and adds to the limited literature on the topic.

## Key findings

- Intrarenal neurofibroma was confirmed histopathologically after radical nephrectomy.
- The tumor showed no evidence of malignancy.
- The case emphasizes the importance of thorough evaluation for rare kidney tumors.

## Abstract

A 53-year-old male patient presented with an incidental finding of a left kidney mass after being evaluated for elevated serum creatinine without having any symptoms. The left kidney mass was confirmed by ultrasound, computed tomography ‘CT’ scan and magnetic resonance imaging ‘MRI’. A left radical nephrectomy was done, and histopathology confirmed the presence of intrarenal neurofibroma with no evidence of malignancy.
