CT/MRI features and pathological analysis of primary renal rare benign tumors / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To improve the diagnostic accuracy of primary renal rare benign tumors by exploring and analyzing the CT/MRI and clinical pathologic features.Methods 9 patients with primary renal rare benign tumors pathologically proven lesions after operation who had CT or MRI exams with contrast were enrolled in our hospital.The radiological and clinical pathological features of all tumors were analyzed respectively.Results The cases were the mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of kidney (MESTK),cystic nephroma(CN),renal leiomyoma(RL)and renal oncocytoma(RO)respectively.Location6 cases were in left kidney and 3 in right kidney.Sizelong diameter 2.5-8.9 cm,mean 5.7 cm;short diameter 2.5-8.4 cm,mean 4.9 cm.The tumor shape included oval(n=7) and irregular(n=2).9 cases protruded from the renal surface.MESTK showed polycystic lesions on preconstrast,various degrees of cystic wall and septum enhancement were detected on enhancement scans.CN showed cystic lesions and calcification on preconstrast, slight septum enhancement were detected on enhancement scans.RL showed heterogeneous density or signal with patchy necrosis and clear border on precontrast,the obvious enhancement was found on cortex and medullary phase and slight washout enhancement was detected on excretory phase.RO showed heterogeneous hypointense on T1 WI,hyperintense on T2 WI and mixed isodensity and hypodensity on CT precontrast.Slight delayed enhancement was found in central scar and washout enhancement was detected in parenchyma on three phases.Conclusion There are some special CT/MRI characteristics for primary renal rare benign tumors,which could improve their diagnosis and differential diagnosis combined with the clinical pathological features.
