Abstract:

We report a case of extensive renal replacement lipomatosis demonstrated by ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) in a 57-year-old woman with a history of two cadaveric renal transplants. One transplant was non-functional due to chronic rejection. The second renal transplant is functioning normally and the renal replacement lipomatosis did not cause mass effect on either of the renal transplants.
