Renal sarcoid: Pseudotumoral radiologic manifestations and pathologic correlation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sarcoidosis has a wide variety of radiologic manifestations. However, lesions that mimic tumors are rare presentations of this systemic disorder. Differentiating sarcoid granulomas from malignancy is critical, as management and prognosis for these two entities are drastically different. Therefore, it is imperative to be cognizant of the various radiologic appearances of pseudotumoral renal sarcoid. We report a case of a 61-year-old man with recently diagnosed prostate cancer and pulmonary sarcoidosis discovered on staging CT who presented with pseudotumoral renal sarcoid mimicking malignancy.

Correlation between Radiologic and Pathologic Tumor Size in Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma
PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of radiologic tumor size for making decisions regarding nephron-sparing surgery of localized renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), we compared tumor size measured by a preoperative radiologic modality with that measured in the pathologic specimen. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2003 and December 2007, a total of 186 patients with pT1 or pT2 RCC underwent radica...

Wegener granulomatosis is an uncommon necrotizing vasculitis that classically manifests as a clinical triad consisting of upper and lower airway involvement and glomerulonephritis. Other less frequently involved organ systems include the central and peripheral nervous system and large joints. The diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical and laboratory findings. Because thoracic involveme...

Background: Sulfur mustard (SM) as a chemical warfare agent, increases permeability of bronchial vessels and damages airway epithelium. SM exposure causes debilitating respiratory complications. This study was designed to evaluate clinical respiratory manifestations, and to compare chest X ray (CXR) and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan of chest in SM exposed patients with respira...
