  • In the general population, it has been estimated that 2-3% of incidentally found adrenal masses are malignant. (medscape.com)
  • MRI is useful for further noninvasive characterization of adrenal masses. (medscape.com)
  • Plain-film imaging of adrenal masses is limited. (medscape.com)
  • About 5% of renal masses that are initially thought to be Wilms tumor are subsequently diagnosed as another condition. (medscape.com)
  • An MSCT protocol for evaluating renal masses should contain unenhanced images of the kidneys, followed by contrast-enhanced scans through the entire abdomen in nephrographic and delayed phases. (diagnosticimaging.com)
  • 5 The accuracy of CT for staging renal masses can reach 91%, with most staging errors related to diagnoses of tumoral perinephric extension. (diagnosticimaging.com)
  • 1 However, the importance of asymptomatic adrenal masses discovered incidentally during the investigation of unrelated problems was stressed by Geelhoed and Druy in 1982. (bmj.com)
  • Its application in small animal practice has yielded extensive information on normal adrenal gland appearance in the dog [ 3 - 10 ], but it has also led to an increase in the incidental discovery of adrenal masses. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Aims -Fatty tumours of the adrenal gland are uncommon and their features have received little attention in the literature. (bmj.com)
  • Calcification or bone was noted in one third (seven of 20) of the adrenal tumours. (bmj.com)
  • Conclusions -Different types of fatty tumours were noted in the adrenal gland. (bmj.com)
  • A normal-appearing gland does not exclude microscopic involvement. (medscape.com)
  • In large cell lymphoma and leukemia cells involvement of body fluid this concept becomes less challenging. (cytojournal.com)
  • The rare variant of renal epithelioid/pleomorphic angiomyolipoma has been reported in approximately 120 cases. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We present here what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of epithelioid/pleomorphic angiomyolipoma of the kidney in a 50-year-old Caucasian man with no history of tuberous sclerosis, and with a tumor marker profile negative for several premelanosome antigens. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Based on the characteristic microscopic appearance of this tumor, and its overall tumor marker profile, we concluded this was a renal epithelioid/pleomorphic angiomyolipoma with a negative premelanosome antigen phenotype. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This is the first report in the English literature of angiomyolipoma and liposarcoma of the adrenal gland. (bmj.com)
  • Differentiating between low-grade lymphoma and reactive lymphocytes is often difficult by morphology alone as reactive lymphoid cells may acquire activation morphology from being exposed to different cytokines within the body fluid. (cytojournal.com)
  • Large cell lymphoma and leukemia cells tend to have large size nuclei, less mature chromatin, and visible nucleoli with and without cytoplasmic vacuoles. (cytojournal.com)
  • Hodgkin Lymphoma treatment is multimodal and includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy and stem cell transplantation. (jcimcr.org)
  • We report here a rare case of a 7cm renal tumor in a 50-year-old man, which we classify as a renal EAML despite its negative PMA phenotype. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In February 2022, Eisai and Merck & Co., Inc., announced that the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) had approved the combination of LENVIMA, the orally available multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor discovered by Eisai, plus KEYTRUDA, the anti-PD-1 therapy from Merck & Co., for radically unresectable or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
