Renal medullary carcinoma (rmc) is a rare and aggressive renal malignancy that usually presents at an advanced stage, has a poor prognosis, and is associated with sickle cell trait. We present a case of rmc including radiologic and pathology findings, treatment, and outcome. A review of the literature is also presented, with an emphasis on the association of rmc with sickle cell trait, which was an unknown diagnosis in our patient preoperatively.
肾髓质癌(RMC)是一种罕见且侵袭性强的肾脏恶性肿瘤,通常在晚期出现,预后较差,且与镰状细胞性状相关。我们报告一例肾髓质癌病例,包括影像学和病理学检查结果、治疗情况及预后。同时还对文献进行了综述,重点阐述肾髓质癌与镰状细胞性状的关联,这在我们的患者术前是未知的诊断。
