Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of different histological types of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (clear cell RCC (ccRCC), papillary RCC (pRCC), chromophobe RCC (chRCC).
Methods: The clinical data of 67 patients (including 38 patients with ccRCC, 20 patients with pRCC and 9 patients with chRCC) with RCC confirmed pathologically in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent CT, MRI plain scan and three-phase enhanced scan, and their CT and MRI imaging features were analyzed.
Results: Most of the enhancement was non-uniform. Most of the lesions presented as "fast-in, fast-out", with obvious enhancement in the early stage and enhancement decline in the later stage. Non-uniform and slightly higher signals were mostly present in DWI. The CT scan of pRCC patients showed equal density and homogeneous enhancement. Some of the larger lesions showed cystic necrosis and hemorrhage. MRI showed a lower signal on T1WI and a slightly higher signal on T2WI. The CT of patients with chRCC showed equal density and more uniform enhancement. DWI showed high signal, and central radial scar showed low signal. There was a significant difference in the percentage of cystic necrosis in ccRCC, pRCC and chRCC among groups (p<0.05). The incidence of cystic necrosis in ccRCC and pRCC was significantly higher than that in chRCC (p<0.05). The CT values in ccRCC patients were significantly higher than those in pRCC and chRCC patients in the parenchymal phase, corticomedullary phase and excretory phase (p<0.05). The CT value of chRCC patients in the parenchymal phase was significantly higher than that of pRCC (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The CT and MRI of ccRCC, pRCC and chRCC have their own imaging characteristics, which has important reference value for the preoperative differential diagnosis of RCC.
期刊介绍：
JBUON aims at the rapid diffusion of scientific knowledge in Oncology.
Its character is multidisciplinary, therefore all aspects of oncologic activities are welcome including clinical research (medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, nursing oncology, psycho-oncology, supportive care), as well as clinically-oriented basic and laboratory research, cancer epidemiology and social and ethical aspects of cancer. Experts of all these disciplines are included in the Editorial Board.
With a rapidly increasing body of new discoveries in clinical therapeutics, the molecular mechanisms that contribute to carcinogenesis, advancements in accurate and early diagnosis etc, JBUON offers a free forum for clinicians and basic researchers to make known promptly their achievements around the world.
With this aim JBUON accepts a broad spectrum of articles such as editorials, original articles, reviews, special articles, short communications, commentaries, letters to the editor and correspondence among authors and readers.
JBUON keeps the characteristics of its former paper print edition and appears as a bimonthly e-published journal with continuous volume, issue and page numbers.
