Renomedullary interstitial cell tumor (RMICT) is a rare benign tumor of the kidney. It is usually detected incidentally at autopsies. It occurs commonly in patients above 50 years of age. This lesion is most of the times small, asymptomatic and not detected clinically. We report a case of incidental detection of this tumor at autopsy of a young female patient.
