Renal leiomyoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor which has
its origin from smooth muscle cells of different structures of the
kidney. Renal leiomyomas are mainly located in the renal capsule and
pelvis, or next to these structures. Clinical symptoms are nonspecific
or completely absent. We present a case with leiomyoma of the left
kidney.
