"Replacement lipomatosis of kidney which has been recognized as invasion of kidney by fat and extensive replacement of cortex with lipomatous growth, is always associated with kidney infection and with calculus disease of most cases. Lipomatosis in congenital renal hypoplasia is a very rare condition. In a 37 year old female patient suffering from left pyelonephritis, we incidentally found that right kidney was a fuctionless hypoplastic one by serial studies. Right nephrectomy was taken to prevent from possible renal hypertension and other complications. On pathologic examination, right kidney revealed severe replacement lipomatosis on hypoplastic kidney. Herein we report this case with review of some literatures."
