Renal Tumour

Neonatal extra-renal Wilm's tumour.

Renal neuroectodermal tumour presenting with hematuria.

Peripheral primary neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) are uncommon tumors, with an overall incidence of 1% of all sarcomas. Renal PNET is extremely rare. It is an aggressive tumor, with a high incidence of local recurrence and early metastases. Radiological diagnosis can be challenging as it is often difficult to differentiate it from other primary renal neoplasms. Imaging features include a large h...

Wilm's tumour and renal dysplasia: an hypothesis.

The incidence of renal dysplasia in a series of Wilms' tumours is presented. The distribution of such lesions is discussed, together with their course of development and regression. The kidney is regarded as a particularly suitable organ for studying the relation between dysplasia and neoplasia. A schema is suggested for this association with regard to Wilms' tumour.

Metanephric adenoma: a rare benign renal tumour.

Metanephric adenoma is a rare benign renal tumour. We are reporting one histologically proven such case in a 23 year old male from Afghanistan. He presented with severe right flank pain since 3 weeks. Nephrectomy was done and histopathology was consistent with the diagnosis of metanephric adenoma. This novel renal mass has been reported to have benign clinical course despite its symptomatic pre...

Epicardial tumour originating from renal cell carcinoma.

A 66-year old male was admitted for indications of a cardiac tumour. Chest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a hyper-vascular tumour on the pericardium (Fig. 1A–C). A cardiac three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) shows that the tumour was located exactly on a coronary artery (Fig. 2). An open biopsy proved that the metastasis originated in renal cell carcinoma. Figure 1: Chest M...
