OBJECTIVES: To report the case of a patient with the diagnosis of solid renal mass after ultrasound and confirmatory CT scan, whose final diagnosis was inflammatory pseudotumour, a rare benign tumour. METHODS: We describe the case, diagnostic difficulties and treatment because of the exceptional character of the case. RESULTS: A bibliographic review was necessary to achieve consensus acceptance of an etiologic relationship between tumour and previous renal trauma 15 years before. CONCLUSIONS: The hypothesis of renal pseudotumour should not be rejected in similar cases.
