Renal metastasis of a submandibular gland adenoid cystic carcinoma is clinically rare when it presents with an atypical imaging appearance of singular renal metastases. Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) can determine whether the singular renal mass is benign or malignant and identify metastases in other parts of the body, particularly in uncommon sites. In t...

INTRODUCTION Simple renal cysts are mostly benign and asymptomatic disease and managed conservatively. Renal cell carcinomas (RCC) sometimes presents as a cystic tumor. At least 4-15 % of renal tumors encountered are cyst-associated renal cell carcinoma (CRCC). (1) Findings suggestive of malignancy in a renal cyst include thickened, irregular or smooth walls or septa, and enhancement after cont...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this pictorial review is to present the imaging spectrum of renal oncocytomas with radiological-pathological correlation. CONCLUSION The differences in tumour cellularity (high cellularity or low cellularity with abundant stroma) and haemorrhagic/cystic change contribute to a wide spectrum of imaging findings of renal oncocytomas. Imaging findings substantially overl...

We report the case of a 25-year-old Caucasian woman with symptomatic monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the fourth lumbar vertebral body. The patient suffered from a five-week history of progressive low back pain, radiating continuously to the left leg. Her medical history and physical and neurological examination did not demonstrate any significant abnormalities. Radiographs, computed tomography ...

OBJECTIVE A family is described which has a unique combination of autosomal dominant hypoparathyroidism and sensorineural deafness without renal dysplasia.
