33 y/o man, persistent left flank pain

Presentation

A 33-year-old man presented with persistent left flank pain. Earlier in the day, a CT scan obtained without IV contrast showed infiltration of the left perinephric fat.

A second CT scan with IV contrast was obtained to rule out renal obstruction and to clarify the nature of the abnormality seen on the first CT.
