CASE

A 61-year-old obese woman (body-mass-index 44) presented to our clinic with a 4 year history of recurrent discomfort and pain at the lateral edge of a lumbar incision. On physical examination there were no specific findings beside of a diffuse tenderness at the lateral edge of the lumbar incision. The patient had a history of right-sided nephrotomy five years ago due to an angiomyolipoma.
