Renal leiomyomas mas are rare and benign tumors. It is not possible to differentiate between renal leiomyomas and other malignant renal tumors with imaging methods; the diagnosis is established only with histopathological examination. Herein, we present a case of renal leiomyoma which was treated with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with the prediagnosis of renal cell carcinoma.
