Ipsilateral Adrenal

22
Q

Overall Most Common in Gen Pop + Von Hippel-Lindau

A

Clear Cell

23
Q

Does ADPKD increase your risk of RCC?

A

Nope

Dialysis does!

24
Q
A

Renal Lymphoma

most common appearance is bilaterally, enlarged kidneys, with small, low attenuation cortically based solid nodules or masses

“infiltrative soft tissue in the renal hilum”

+ lymph nodes

Solitary mass - 25%

25
Q

Most common metastatic tumor to invade the kidneys

A

Lypmphoma

26
Q

Renal Leukemia

A

The kidney is the most common visceral organ involved

27
Q

the most common benign tumor of the kidney

A

Angiomyolipoma (AML)

28
Q

Macroscopic fat

A

Angiomyolipoma

29
Q

Tuberus sclerosis

A

Angiomyolipoma

30
Q

Angiomyolipoma bleeds at this size

A

> 4cm

more in pregnancy

31
Q

Never have calcificaitons

A

Angiomyolipoma

32
Q
A

T2 Dark

Angiomyolipoma

33
Q

AML on MRI

A

Fat Sat or IP OOP

34
Q

Renal mass + Fat + Calcifications =

A

RCC

35
Q

Renal mass + Fat - Calcifications =

A

Probably AML

36
Q

This is the 2nd most common benign tumor (after AML).

A

Oncocytoma

37
Q

MASS + Central scar =

A

Oncocytoma

RCC until proven otherwise

38
Q
A

Oncocytoma

CT/MRI Solid mass + Central Scar

39
Q
A

Oncocytoma

USD: “Spoke wheel” Vascular pattern

40
Q

if you are shown an enhancing renal mass with a central scar, how do you decide if it’s a RCC or an oncocytoma?

A

all enhancing renal masses are RCC till proven otherwise

If cetnral scar = consider oncocytoma

41
Q

Birt Hogg Dube associated solid renal masses

A

Oncocytoma (Bilateral)

Chromophobe RCC

42
Q
A

Multilocular Cystic Nephroma

“Non-communicating, fluid-filled locules, surrounded by thick fibrous capsule.”

By definition these things are characterized by the absence of a solid component or necrosis.

43
Q

“protrudes into the renal pelvis.”

A

Multilocular Cystic Nephroma
