Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic significance of B-ultrasound and CT in small renal tumor (≤3 cm). Methods The clinical data of 48 patients (29 men and 19 women) with small renal tumor were reviewed.Their mean age was 49 years.Of them,43 cases were asymptomatic,while 2 complained of hematuria,2 of lumbago and 1 of hematuria with lumbago.B-ultrasound, conventional CT,helical CT thin scan and intraoperative frozen section were evaluated. Results Of the 48 cases,36 of renal cell carcinoma (RCC),7 of renal angiomyolipoma (RAML),4 of oncocytic adenoma and 1 of metanephric adenoma were diagnosed by pathology after surgery.The diagnostic accuracy was 75%(36/48) for B-ultrasound,81%(39/48) for conventional CT,91%(20/22) for helical CT thin scan and 95%(19/20) for intraoperative frozen section,respectively. Conclusions Small renal tumor has high incidental rate as well as high benign rate.As the tumor is relatively smaller, it is difficult to differentiate between benign and malignant nature of the tumor by B-ultrasound and conventional CT.Helical CT thin scan and intraoperative frozen section are helpful for accurate diagnosis of the tumor.
