We experienced a case of renal hamartoma of mesothelial origin. A 21-year-old was referred to our hospital with a complaint of growing abdominal mass. The diagnosis of right renal tumor was confirmed based on the radiographic examinations. The renal tumor was removed by partial nephrectomy. Histological examination revealed the tumor composed of fibroblasts, smooth muscle and a few tubule-like epithelial tissue. Thus, this case was classified as renal hamartoma of mesothelial origin.
