Renal pseudotumor simulating malignancy in a patient with Adamantiades-Behçet's disease: case report and review of the literature

A Aessopos et al. Am J Nephrol. 2000 May-Jun.

Abstract

Adamantiades-Behçet's disease is a multisystem recurrent syndrome with vasculitis being the underlying histopathological lesion. We report on a patient with Behçet's disease who developed a renal mass raising the suspicion of a malignant neoplasm. The pathologic examination revealed an inflammatory pseudotumor. The concurrent presentation of these two entities seems to be more than coincidental.
