OBJECTIVE. Renal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor to involve the kidneys; however, a number of other entities—called renal pseudotumors—may mimic renal neoplasms on imaging. This article presents the imaging features and pathologic correlation of some of the common and uncommon renal pseudomasses.

CONCLUSION. Many renal lesions look similar to renal cell carcinoma on radiologic imaging. The imaging features of renal pseudotumors presented in this article will help radiologists to identify them and to triage these patients for appropriate management.
