Abstract
We report a case of a tumor of the renal medulla. Tumor cells were cha racteristic of renomedullary interstitial cells as demonstrated by lig ht microscopy, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. Such mass es are usually small (less than 0.5 cm.) and incidental. This neoplasm , however, was 5.0 cm. in diameter. To our knowledge, our case is uniq ue because of tumor size and because it is the first report of an inte rstitial cell tumor of the kidney that has been clinically observed an d surgically excised.
