A Case of Multilocular Cystic Renal Cell Carcinoma Mistaken for Multilocular Renal Cyst
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Cystic renal cell carcinoma represents approximately 15 percent of all renal cell carcinoma. The multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma is comprised of multiple variable sized, non-communicating, fluid-filled cystic spaces and often extremely
difficult to differentiate from non-neoplastic, and other malignant neoplastic masses clinically and radiologically. We have encountered a case of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma whose sonographic, computed tomographic findings and gross
pathologic charicteristics were similar to multilocular renal cyst. If multilocular cyst is suspected preoperatively, a more cautious operative approach consisting of in vivo inspection of the lesion and if nessary, frozen section examination of
tissue
should be followed.
