Renal abscess

Discussion:

Radiological findings suggest two main differential diagnoses: renal abscess or renal cell carcinoma. 

There is no clinical evidence of infection, except for leukocytosis later identified on a blood test. Perinephric inflammatory changes are more suggestive of an abscess.

The case was confirmed and treated as an abscess.

This would lend itself to a straightforward ultrasound-guided percutaneous abscess drainage.
