The five patients presented with sudden lumbar pain, transient collapse, and a right hypochondrium palpable mass. The location and the type of the mass could be determined by ultrasonography which showed a septated heterogenous mass displacing the retroperitoneal fat anteriorly. Computed tomography showed in two cases tiny parietal calcifications and a spontaneous hyperdensity in one case. All the patients underwent surgery and no tumoral tissue could be found.
