Extrarenal pelvis mimicking hydronephrosis: a case for caution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extrarenal pelvis is an anatomical variant that appears as a large hypoechoic mass just outside the renal sinus and can be confused with hydronephrosis, especially on a point-of-care renal ultrasound. Unlike hydronephrosis, it is not associated with dilated calyces, parenchymal thinning, hydroureter, or enlarged kidney per se.

Extrarenal calyces as a cause of non-functional kidney in a child: Case report
Originally described by Eisendrath in 1925, extrarenal calyces (ERC) are a very rare upper tract anomaly, with approximately 50 cases reported in the world literature, including this one (20%< 17 years).1 This malformation usually consists of a discoid kidney with the major calyces and the renal pelvis located outside the renal parenchyma, and it has been associated with other renal anomalies, ...

Introduction Bilateral extrarenal calyces, which are characterized by calyces and renal pelvis that lie outside the renal parenchyma, associated with variations of renal vessels is one of the rare anomalies of the collecting system. This variant may be associated with other variations of the urogenital system, like bifid kidney, ectopic kidney, horseshoe kidney and renal dysplasia. This could b...

We report a rare case of carcinosarcoma occurred in renal pelvis with prominent heterologous sarcomatous elements mimicking the renal teratoma or adult Wilms’ tumor. A 56-year-old Chinese male patient who presented with right flank pain and gross hematuria was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography after ultrasound revealed right nephrolithiasis and hydronephrosis. Percutaneous nephrosto...

Hydronephrosis, "distension in varying degrees of pelvis and calyces, accompanied by progressive atrophy of renal parenchyma due to obstruction in urinary flow", is an apparently simple reno-urinary disease, but, in reality, by association of its own characters with those conferred by causative lesions, becomes of a significant complexity. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the pluriva...

Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of renal pelvis is a rare cystic neoplasm which mimics a hydronephrosis or pyonephrosis radiologically. We are presenting here a case report where mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of pelvicalyceal system was mimicking clinically and radiologically as pyonephrosis but diagnosed preoperatively through a simple and rapid test, Ultrasoundguided fine-needle aspiration cyto...
