Abstract:Objective To investigate the CT and MRI features of renal oncocytoma, so as to provide reference for the clinical diagnosis of renal oncocytoma.Methods The imaging features of 24 patients with renal oncocytoma by surgical pathology in Fuzhou General Hospital from February 2011 to July 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 12 males and 12 females, with age 36-71 (55.2±10.4) years. Preoperative CT scanning and enhanced scanning, or MRI scanning and enhanced scanning were used to evaluate the location, size, morphology, border, necroses and cystic degeneration, stellate scar and enhancement features in different phases, as well as renal tissue invasion and lymph node metastasis.Results In 24 patients, 22 routine CT tests and 5 routine MRI tests were performed. There were 25 lesions, 1 case revolved in bilateral renal, which was solitary while 23 cases were unilateral solitary lesions. Among the 9 cases in the right kidney and 16 cases in the left kidney, the largest diameter was (3.4±1.2) cm. CT scanning of 22 cases of 23 lesions. On pre-contrast CT scanning, the 13 tumors showed isodensity and calcification were observed in 2 cases, small cystic low density was observed in 3 cases and stellate scar was seen in 10 cases. On multiple phase contrast scanning, most cases appeared obvious enhancement, which displayed a steep increase and then progressive washout pattern for dynamic enhancement curve. On MRI, 5 cases of 5 lesions. All 5 tumors showed iso-hypo signal intensity on T1WI and heterogeneously hyper-intensity on T2WI and DWI. The small cystic low density was observed in 1 case and stellate scar was seen in 1 case. All the lipid spaces around the kidney were clear. No tumor plug was found in renal vein and inferior vena cava. No enlarged lymph nodes were found beside renal hilum and abdominal aorta.Conclusions The CT and MRI imaging manifestation of renal oncocytoma has certain characteristics. It could improve the understanding of this disease and reduce unnecessary radical nephrectomy, which has important clinical application value.
