Objective To compare the different pathological type of renal tumor,clinical epidemiology,imaging and pathological features,summarize its value in the diagnosis of renal tumor.Methods The clinical data of 2198 patients who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital due to renal tumors from January 2010 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 1 404 males and 794 females with an average age of (56.5 ± 11.7) years old.The clinical epidemiology,image features and pathological features were compared.Results Among them,the pathological results concluded 1 891 cases of renal clear cell carcinoma (86.0%),112 cases of papillary renal cell carcinoma (5.1%),76 cases of chromophobe cell carcinoma (3.5%),23 cases of multilocular cystic renal tumors with low malignant potential (1.0%),13 cases of Xp11.2 translocation carcinoma (0.6%),4 cases of collecting duct carcinoma (0.2%),58 cases of anadipotic angiomyolipoma (2.6%),18 cases of acidophiloma (0.8%),and 3 cases of metanephric adenoma (0.1%).The overall differences in age and gender among patients with renal tumors of different pathological types were statistically significant (F =13.8,P < 0.05;x2 =20.5,P < 0.05),Xpl 1.2-translocated carcinoma had the lowest mean age of onset,which was (44.9 ± 17.1 years old).The percentage of women with anadipotic angiomyolipoma was higher (41,70.7%),and the percentage of men with clear cell carcinoma and papillary renal cell carcinoma was higher (1 253,66.3%) and(77,68.8%).There was no statistically significant difference in side sex and clinical manifestations among patients with different pathological types of renal tumors (x2 =16.27,P > 0.05).No significant difference in the distribution of left and right side,the clinical manifestations were mainly sporadic (x2 =19.63,P > 0.05).The results of renal tumors ultrasound ith different pathological types showed statistically significant difference (x2 =67.l,P < 0.05).Hyperechoic (20,34.5%) and mixed echogenicity (16,27.6%) were the main manifestations of lipoma.Multilocular cystic renal tumors with low malignant potential were mostly cystic and solid mixed echogenicity (14,60.9%).CT values of renal tumors of different pathological types at all stages showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).The CT values of clear cell carcinoma at the arterial phase of CT enhanced scan were significantly higher than those of other types of tumors (F =11.6,P < 0.05),but decreased significantly in the parenchymal phase,showing the enhancement characteristics of "fast in and fast out".The CT values of papillary cell carcinoma in the third phase of enhanced scan were all lower than those of clear cell carcinoma and chromophobe cell carcinoma (P < 0.05),showing a "progressive enhancement".The enhancement effect of chromophobe cell carcinoma is somewhere in between.The CT value on plain scan of anadipotic angiomyolipoma was higher than that of clear cell carcinoma,and the enhancement was followed by continuous enhancement,showing the characteristics of "fast in and slow out".The majority of clear cell carcinoma and papillary cell carcinoma were tan section (1 235,72.55%;51,52.13%).The grey-white section was the most common type of adipogenic angiomyolipoma (21,40.4%).Conclusions The epidemiological characteristics,imaging and pathological features of renal tumors of different pathological types have certain characteristics,especially the enhanced CT features of renal clear cell carcinoma,papillary renal cell carcinoma,chromophobe cell carcinoma and anadipotic angiomyolipoma,which are of certain value for the differential diagnosis of renal tumors of different pathological types.
