ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical, imaging, and pathological characteristics of renal oncocytoma, and to improve the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of renal oncocytoma.Methods:The imaging and pathological data of two patients misdiagnosed with renal cell carcinoma in the 970 Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force from January to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The relevant literature was reviewed and discussed.Results:The tumors were located in the left kidney of two patients, with diameters of 2.7 cm and 3.2 cm respectively. The patients underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic removal of partial left kidney and retroperitoneal laparoscopic removal of the whole left kidney separately. The pathological results confirmed the diagnosis of renal oncocytoma.Conclusion:Renal oncocytoma is a rare benign renal cell tumor which is difficult to be diagnosed before surgery. Contrast-enhanced CT can provide evidence for the identification of renal oncocytoma. Its final diagnosis depends on pathological results.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical efficacy and advantages of tip-flexible semirigid ureterorenoscope combined with Holmium laser lithotripsy for the treatment of impacted upper ureteral calculi.Methods We retrospectively analyzed 75 cases of impacted upper ureteral calculi treated in our hospital between September 2015 and December 2017.There were 45 males and 30 females,aged from 35 to 65 years,mean (42.5 ± 3.5)years.All patients were diagnosed by B-ultrasound and CT with impacted upper ureteral calculi.The mean stone diameter was (1.6 ± 0.3) cm.The CT value of stone was (1 025.3 ± 215.4) HU.Tip-flexible semirigid ureterorenoscope combined with Holmium laser lithotripsy were performed in all of the cases,which were under general anesthesia with lithotomy position,to observe the successful rate of lithotripsy,operation time,intraoperative and postoperative complications,postoperative hospitalization time and stone-free rate.Results All 75 cases were successfully operated.The operation time was (38.5 ± 11.2) min.Three cases had postoperative fever.No severe perioperative complications such as septic shock,ureteral perforation or avulsion occurred.The mean hospital stay of the patients was (2.7 ± 0.4) d.A follow up by non-contrast CT scan was done 4 weeks after the procedure to evaluate the result.Sixty seven cases had stone clearances at the primary operation and the stone clearance rate was 89.3％ (67/75).Eight cases undergone ESWL and physical vibration lithecbole,the CT examination showed that the stones were cleared after 1 month.Conclusions Tip-flexible semirigid ureterorenoscope combined with Holmium laser lithotripsy in the treatment of impacted upper ureteral calculi had a definite effect,safe and comfortable for doctors.
