Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) of the kidney is a rare benign tumor with malignant potential, and is characterized by epithelial and stromal proliferation with a variety of cellularity and growth pattern. MEST of the kidney is often depicted as a well-defined, solid mass with a cystic component. However, due to the rarity of the disease, there are no reports of its progression in serial imaging examinations. This report presents the case of a 68-year-old woman with MEST who was followed for 13 years by computed tomography (CT). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of image findings of MEST of the kidney over a follow-up period longer than 10 years.
