Comparative analysis of MRI features and pathological findings for renal clear cell carcinoma / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the relationship between MRI features and pathological characteristics of the renal clear cell carcinoma,and to conduct a comparative analysis.Methods 23 patients renal clear cell carcinoma who were proved by postoperative pathology were retrospectively analyzed. The preoperative MRI findings and the postoperative pathological characteristics were compared. Results MRI plain scan showed uniform signal was seen in 2 cases, and mixed signal was found in 21 cases with cystic and necrosis. Blood was seen in 11 cases and false envelope was present in 12 cases. Dynamic enhanced scanning revealed that solid part was enhanced obviously, it was lower than the renal cortex but higher than the renal medulla in cortical phase and continued to be enhanced in medullary phase and delay phase.Postoperative pathological characteristics showed that tumor profiles were yellow-white and cystic and necrotic structures were present within tumors, blood was found in 17 cases. Endoscopic tumor cells were present in solid nests or acinar structure, and mesenchyma was rich in thin-walled vessels involved in reticular interval.14 cases were found to have false envelope.Conclusion Renal clear carcinoma MRI imaging manifestion is related to organixational srructure. MR plain scan combined with dynamic enhanced scan has very high value in the diangnodis of renal cell carcoinoma.
