Sumario:Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare pathologic entity that has been mostly described in the lung. It has been reported in nearly every organ, with occurrence in the kidney being extremely rare. IMT has nonspecific clinical and radiological findings and often mimics a malignant process. This is a case discussing the radiologic and pathologic findings of a renal IMT in a 35-year-old female who underwent radical nephrectomy for a right renal pelvis mass that was mistaken for transitional cell carcinoma.
