Abstract

A solitary fibrous tumor of the kidney is a rare neoplasm that was often misdiagnosed as hemangiopericytoma until recently. We report a case of a 35-year-old male patient with a solid, 7 cm tumor located centrally in a solitary right kidney. The patient underwent successful bench surgery and autotransplantation.
