Abstract:
Objective To observe the ultrasonic features of cystic renal cell carcinoma. Methods Ultrasonic features of 18 patients of cystic renal cell carcinoma confirmed with operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among 18 patients, 7 were clear-cell carcinoma of cystis degeneration, 5 were cystic renal cell carcinoma (clear cell type), 3 were multilocular renal cell carcinoma, 1 was corpora mammillaria renal cell carcinoma, and one clear-cell carcinoma was on capsule wall of cyst and 1 was nephroblastoma. Ultrasound diagnosed 15 patients and misdiagnosed 3 with a diagnostic rate of 83.33%.Conclusion Cystic renal cell carcinoma has specific ultrasonic characteristics, and having an intimate knowledge of these characteristics may be helpful to diagnosis.
