Urologic Imaging of the Kidneys : Cancers and Mimics - 12/11/24
Résumé |
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a growing problem in global oncology, with a steadily increasing incidence, especially in developed regions. Its different histologic subtypes present different challenges in diagnosis and management. Advanced imaging techniques have a crucial role in distinguishing between these subtypes by highlighting unique radiographic features such as exophytic growth patterns, cystic components, and enhancement patterns. Practical suggestions discussed in this review include using chemical shift MRI to differentiate fat-poor angiomyolipomas from RCC, recognizing specific imaging markers such as pseudo-capsule in papillary RCC, and understanding the implications of negative pixel count in computed tomography scans.
