Laparoscopic diagnosis and management of perinephric adipose-containing lesions

J Endourol. 2006 Feb;20(2):130-2. doi: 10.1089/end.2006.20.130.

Abstract

We describe two patients in whom imaging and percutaneous biopsy of perinephric masses were insufficient for diagnosis. Laparoscopic biopsy permitted the diagnosis of fibrosis with chronic inflammation in one case and liposarcoma in the other.
