Abstract
In contrast to epidermoid cysts of the dermis, epidermoid cysts of the kidneys are rare. We report on a female patient with recurrent renal colic caused by an epidermoid cyst of her right kidney. A malignant tumor was suspected by computed tomography but was ruled out through ureterorenoscopic biopsy. The epidermoid cyst was removed by a partial nephrectomy.Entities:
