Primary renal carcinoid tumors are very rare, so their characteristic imaging findings have not been well defined. We describe the case of a man with a large right renal mass associated to a retroperitoneal lymph-node conglomerate. Increased urine concentrations of 5-hydroxy-indole-acetic acid and the histologic findings led to the diagnosis of primary renal carcinoid tumor. We review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and findings at ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance image for primary renal carcinoid tumors.
原发性肾类癌肿瘤非常罕见，因此其特征性影像学表现尚未明确界定。我们描述了一例患有巨大右肾肿块并伴有腹膜后淋巴结融合的男性病例。尿中5-羟吲哚乙酸浓度升高及组织学检查结果确诊为原发性肾类癌肿瘤。我们回顾了原发性肾类癌肿瘤的流行病学、临床表现以及超声、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像的检查结果。
