Renal myxoma is a very rare benign neoplasm seen almost exclusively in adults with only 16 reported cases in the literature. All of these cases have been reported in native kidneys with none being reported in a transplant kidney. We report the case of a renal myxoma in a 17-year-old boy's transplant kidney that was found as an incidental mass on ultrasonography and further evaluated with CT and PET scans. PET findings of a renal myxoma are reported here for the first time, and imaging findings from previous cases are briefly reviewed. This case report highlights the fact that adult-predominant tumors and pathology should always be a consideration in pediatric patients who receive organ transplants from adult donors.
肾黏液瘤是一种非常罕见的良性肿瘤，几乎仅见于成年人，文献中仅报道过16例。所有这些病例均发生于原生肾，尚未有移植肾发生肾黏液瘤的报道。我们报告了1例17岁男孩移植肾中的肾黏液瘤病例，该肿瘤是在超声检查时偶然发现的，并通过CT和PET扫描进行了进一步评估。本文首次报告了肾黏液瘤的PET表现，并简要回顾了既往病例的影像学表现。本病例报告强调了一个事实，即在接受成年供体器官移植的儿科患者中，应始终考虑以成年人为主的肿瘤和病理情况。
