A case of an atypical renal milk-of-calcium cyst is presented. Although this cyst contained a colloidal suspension of calcium crystals, other signs and findings typical for a milk-of-calcium cyst were lacking. No connection of the cyst to the collecting system could be identified, no "half moon" phenomenon was found on upright and cross-sectional radiography, and the biopsies taken from the wall of the cyst showed sclerosis instead of urothelium. From the present case it was concluded that renal milk-of-calcium cysts may sometimes occur in the absence of findings that are typical of this particular entity. Therefore, this disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal calcifications of unknown origin.
本文报告一例非典型肾钙乳囊肿病例。尽管该囊肿含有钙晶体的胶体悬浮液,但缺乏钙乳囊肿的其他典型体征和发现。未发现囊肿与集合系统有连接,立位及横断面X线检查未发现“半月”现象,囊肿壁活检显示为硬化而非尿路上皮。从本病例得出结论,肾钙乳囊肿有时可能在缺乏该特定实体典型表现的情况下出现。因此,在不明原因的肾钙化鉴别诊断中应考虑本病。
