Abstract
We report a perineurioma of the kidney. A 66-year-old woman had a rena l mass discovered as an incidental finding during the evaluation of hy pertension and proteinuria. This neoplasm radiographically mimicked re nal cell carcinoma, but the diagnosis of perineurioma was confirmed wi th histologic and ultrastructural studies. Perineurioma is a recently described, rare, benign tumor of the peripheral nervous system compose d of perineurial cells. Histologically, the differential diagnosis inc ludes low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma and other myxoid tumors.
