Focal calcifications are frequently seen in renal masses including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Osseous metaplasia, on the other hand, is a rare finding in RCC. We report a case of RCC with radiological evidence of speckled calcification that showed osseous metaplasia on histopathological examination. The clinical and pathologic differential diagnosis for this tumor is discussed along with a review of the literature on this unusual phenomenon.
局灶性钙化常见于包括肾细胞癌(RCC)在内的肾脏肿块中。另一方面,骨化生在肾细胞癌中是一种罕见的表现。我们报告一例肾细胞癌病例,其影像学表现为散在钙化,组织病理学检查显示有骨化生。本文讨论了该肿瘤的临床和病理鉴别诊断,并对有关这一不寻常现象的文献进行了综述。
