A case is described where ultrasound demonstrated diffusely increased echogenicity in massively enlarged kidneys. Computed tomography confirmed fatty replacement of the renal parenchyma, allowing a confident diagnosis of multiple bilateral angiomyolipomas in a clinical setting of tuberous sclerosis. This is the first ultrasound demonstration of such diffusely echogenic kidneys in angiomyolipoma.
本文描述了一例超声显示双侧肾脏极度肿大且回声普遍增强的病例。计算机断层扫描证实肾实质存在脂肪替代,从而在结节性硬化症的临床背景下确诊为双侧多发性血管平滑肌脂肪瘤。这是首次通过超声显示血管平滑肌脂肪瘤患者双侧肾脏弥漫性回声增强的情况。
