Retroperitoneal lipoma and bilateral renal cell carcinoma in a rare co-existence.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionGiant retroperitoneal lipomas are rarely observed clinically, and a retroperitoneal lipoma accompanied by renal cell carcinoma is even more unusual. We present a case of a large retroperitoneal lipoma with bilateral renal cell carcinoma that was definitively diagnosed after resection. CASE PRESENTATION: A huge retroperitoneal mass was incidentally discovered in a 58-year-old male with end stage renal disease being evaluated for a kidney transplant. Imaging studies revealed a mixed solid and fat-containing mass displacing the left kidney. Repeat imaging discovered concurrent unilateral renal cell carcinoma and interval enlargement of the mass. Histopathology showed benign adipose tissue, bland spindle cells, and mixed inflammatory infiltrate that was negative for MDM2 amplification. Resection of the mass and bilateral nephrectomy was performed. Final histopathological examination was consistent with bilateral renal cell carcinoma and a large benign retroperitoneal lipoma. DISCUSSION: The presented case provides a prime example of the diagnostic challenges encountered with retroperitoneal tumors, The final diagnosis of lipoma in this case was only made after review of the resected specimen in its entirety. Retroperitoneal lipomas can present differently based on tumor size and involvement of adjacent organs. The concomitant occurrence of a renal cell carcinoma and retroperitoneal lipoma is extremely rare, and this is the first report published in the literature.
conclusionWe document a rare case of retroperitoneal lipoma with concurrent bilateral renal cell carcinoma and illustrate frequently encountered challenges during the evaluation of retroperitoneal masses.
