a. enhancing mass (>15 HU)
b. Fatty mass + calcs
Risk factors of RCC
Smoking
Von Hippel Lindau
Chronic disalysis (>3 years)
Family Hx
Metastatic charatecerisitcs of RCC
Hypervascular mets
Bone metes = Always lytic
The most sensitive phase for detection of RCC in CT
Nephrographic phase (80 secs)
RCC + fat
Clear cell
RCC subtypes
- Clear cell
- Papillary
- Medullary
- Chromophobe
- Translocation
Most common subtype of RCC in the general population
Clear Cell
RCC + VHL =
Clear Cell
Clear Cell
Corticomedullary Enhancement = cortex
Cystic mass + Enhancing components
This is the second most common type of RCC
Papillary
Papillary RCC
Less aggro than CCC
Less vascularity will not enhance = to cortex on CMP
T2 Dark
What RCC subtypes risk do transplented kidneys have?
Papillary subtypes.
RCC + Sickle Cell =
Medullary RCC
Highly aggressive + usuallry large with mets on DX
Birt Hoog Dube (autosomal dominant genodermatosis, usually manifesting in the third decade of life with multiple fibrofolliculomas, trichodiscomas, and acrochordons)
Chromophobe RCC
Most common RCC subtype in kids.
Translocation RCC
Hx Cytotoxic chemotherapy
Translocation RCC
