Renal Allograft Replacement Lipomatosis After Transplantation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Renal replacement lipomatosis is a rare benign diagnosis described as the total replacement of the renal parenchyma with fibrous and fatty tissue. It usually affects one kidney, and it is usually associated with conditions such as renal calculus or pyelonephritis. Histopathological findings of reported cases have shown severe atrophy and destruction of the renal parenchyma. In the present study, we report a rare case of total renal allograft replacement lipomatosis and its surgical treatment after kidney transplantation.
