Abstract
Replacement lipomatosis in grafted kidney is a rare complication, and it consists of abnormal fatty proliferation. We report a patient with replacement kidney lipomatosis in grafted kidney. Abdominal CT was performed for evaluation of vague abdominal pain, and 3.9 cm sized mass was incidentally detected in the grafted kidney. Presumptive diagnosis of mass was lymphoma or other tumorous conditions. Graft was removed surgically, and it was confirmed as lipomatosis. Renal lipomatosis is rare but it should be included as a differential diagnosis of mass in transplanted kidney.
