Abstract

Renomedullary interstitial cell tumor was first introduced by Lerman and co-workers. These lesions have been referred to as medullary fibromas. The ultrastructural studies showed that the spindle cells throughout the stroma have the features of medullary interstitial cells. These benign tumors with specific histology are rare since they are incidental findings at autopsies. We report here a case of renomedullary interstitial cell tumor in a 55-year-old woman.
