Renal abscess is very rare among intra-abdominal abscesses in children. Ascending infection the most common cause children compared to hematogenous spread adults and Escherichia coli main pathogen. Persisting high-grade fever an alarming sign intervene has be taken care of. Here, we are presenting case of a 3-year-old boy with Klebsiella urinary tract E. renal 4 cm size. Contrast-enhanced compu...

INTRODUCTION The knowledge about the molecular biology of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is evolving, and Carbonic Anhydrase type IX (CA-IX) has emerged as a potential prognostic marker in this challenging disease. However, most of the literature about CA-IX on ccRCC comes from series on metastatic cancer, with a lack of series on non-metastatic cancer. The objective is to evaluate the...

PURPOSE To identify size criteria for complex cystic renal masses that can distinguish renal cell carcinoma from benign cysts supplementing the Bosniak classification. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the records of 97 patients who underwent surgery for complex cystic renal masses from January 2001 to April 2010. The pathological results were compared with the lesion sizes measured by preope...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) of primary renal cancers with and without metastatic lesions, if any. We also studied the relationship between the size of primary renal cancers and their SUVmax, and tried to find a clinical value of (18)F-FDG PET-CT for the initial evaluation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC)....

Seventy-seven clinically normal children with kidneys of normal size were examined sonographically. Renal parenchymal volumes were calculated and related to age, height, body weight and body surface area; growth charts were constructed. A significant correlation was found between the renal parenchymal volume and the body somatometric parameters. The present report thus provides norms for renal ...
