Renal angiography was performed in 20 patients with histologically proven transitional cell carcinomas of the kidney at Wayne County General Hospital, The University of Michigan Medical Center, and Ann Arbor St. Joseph Mercy Hospital between 1967 and 1975. In addition to conventional angiograms, six patients had pharmacoangiographic studies, four with epmephrine and two with Priscoline. There w...

Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is the most common cystic kidney disease in children. Renal abnormalities occur in the contralateral kidney in 20-57% of cases. The prognosis of MCDK depends primarily on the status of the opposite kidney. We describe a case of unilateral MCDK and contralateral hypoplasia presenting with renal failure during the neonatal period. Abdominal ultrasound showed a...

BACKGROUND Townes-Brocks syndrome (TBS) is a rare autosomal dominant disease, resulting from mutation in the developmental gene SALL1. The phenotype encompasses malformations of limbs (triphalangeal thumbs and pre-axial polydactyly), intestine (anal stenosis) and ears (dysplastic ear with perception hearing loss). Renal involvement (hypo-dysplasia, multicystic kidneys or unilateral absence) is ...

Cystic dysplasia of the testis (CDT) is a benign, congenital malformation of the testis and a rare cause of painless scrotal swelling in children, mimicking testicular cancer. It is commonly unilateral, often associated with ipsilateral wolffian duct and ureteral abnormalities. Cystic dysplasia of the rete testis (CDT) represents a diagnostic challenge made easier if age, precise localisation, ...

Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BMPM) is an uncommon lesion. It presents as a lump in abdomen or a finding seen on imaging modalities. Surgery is the primary modality of treatment. However, it has a high recurrence rate; this results in adhesions and subsequent surgeries difficult. We present a case of recurrent BMPM in a female operated twice earlier in a rural centre. Imaging moda...
