A 54-year-old woman with no medical or surgical history presented with 6 months of bilateral flank pain with no radiation or fever. A physical examination revealed only bilateral flank pain. Urine tests showed microhematuria. Laboratory test results showed increased serum creatinine levels (1.21 mg/dL) and microcytic anemia. A CT scan revealed significant multi-organ abnormalities, including renal abnormalities with a hairy kidney sign, pericardial effusion, and an osteolytic lesion of the spine. The hairy kidney sign is pathognomonic for ECD, so the renal mass was biopsied to confirm the diagnosis. The biopsy showed foamy histiocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. Foamy histiocytes were CD68-positive and negative for S100, CD1a, and HMB45. PAx5 and CD3 immunostaining showed T-predominant B-lymphocyte mixtures
