Abstract
The most common renal neoplasms in the second decade of life are renal cell carcinomas
and Wilms' tumors. Glomus tumors arising in the kidney are rare. We report an adolescent
with a benign renal glomus tumor excised by wedge resection. Nephron-sparing surgery
is the therapy of choice for children with benign renal tumors. Glomus tumor should
be considered in the differential diagnosis of a renal mass in a young patient.
