PREOPERATIVE STAGE DIAGNOSIS BY ULTRASONOGRAPHY AND EVALUATION OF ECHO PATTERN ON RENAL CELL CARCINOMA

Metastatic carcinoma to the thyroid gland from renal cell carcinoma: role of ultrasonography in preoperative diagnosis

BACKGROUND Patients with metastases to the thyroid from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that need surgical management are not many and unfamiliar to clinicians and thyroid endocrinologists. Therefore, little information is available on ultrasonographic features of metastatic carcinoma in the thyroid. The strategic value of ultrasound in preoperative surgical planning for patients with thyroid nodule...

[Study on small renal cell carcinoma diagnosed by ultrasonography].

Sixty-seven patients underwent a resection of renal cell carcinoma in our hospital between July 1984 and Mar. 1989. Out of them 31 patients with small renal cell carcinoma less than 4 cm in diameter were examined. The proportion of small renal cell carcinoma to all renal cell carcinoma was 36% (14 patients) in the first half period (July 1984-July 1987) and 61% (17 patients) in the last half (A...

Three cases of pleural metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma diagnosis: cases report

Background: Malignant pleural effusion is common in patients with advanced malignant tumor. The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of pleural metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma, pleural effusion under medical thoracoscopy and the diagnostic value of interventional thoracoscopy-guided biopsy, and to improve the understanding of pleural metastasis of renal clear cell carcin...

Sarcomatoid Transrormation of Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma

Preoperative Evaluation of Renal Cell Carcinoma by Using 18F-FDG PET/CT

PURPOSE This study aimed to characterize the FDG uptake of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by the pathological subtype and nuclear grade. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified patients who underwent F-FDG PET and subsequent partial or radical nephrectomy for renal tumors. The relationships of the SUV of renal tumor with subtypes, nuclear grade, and clinicopathological variables were i...
