Small renal or pararenal masses and retroperitoneum lesions are extremely difficult to diagnose. Imaging technology is a precious diagnostic tool; however, it places physicians in a difficult position since many lesions are not precisely diagnosed. Clinical and radiological findings can guide suspicion towards the diagnosis; however, in our current practice most diagnoses are based on histological findings. We aim to present a pararenal sclerosing perivascular epithelioid cell tumour (PEComa), a rare entity, whose diagnosis is only possible through invasive approaches and histological analysis. This rare lesion not only is difficult to diagnose but also has an uncertain behaviour, which is of major importance concerning its follow-up and prognosis. This case report is an attempt to add more data that will help establish criteria for diagnosis and follow-up of this rare disease.
小的肾或肾旁肿物以及腹膜后病变极难诊断。成像技术是一种宝贵的诊断工具;然而,它使医生陷入困境,因为许多病变无法得到精确诊断。临床和影像学表现可引导对诊断的怀疑;然而,在我们目前的实践中,大多数诊断是基于组织学结果。我们旨在介绍一例肾旁硬化性血管周上皮样细胞瘤(PEComa),这是一种罕见的实体瘤,其诊断只能通过侵入性方法和组织学分析来实现。这种罕见病变不仅难以诊断,而且行为不确定,这对于其随访和预后至关重要。本病例报告旨在补充更多数据,以帮助建立这种罕见疾病的诊断和随访标准。
