We report a case of a large renal tumour containing small amounts of fat and some calcification that proved to be a renal cell carcinoma. The CT appearance of the tumour was suggestive of an angiomyolipoma. Although the overwhelming majority of renal masses containing fat are angiomyolipomas, in the presence of calcification the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma should be entertained.
我们报告一例含有少量脂肪和一些钙化的巨大肾肿瘤,经证实为肾细胞癌。该肿瘤的CT表现提示为血管平滑肌脂肪瘤。虽然绝大多数含有脂肪的肾肿块是血管平滑肌脂肪瘤,但在存在钙化的情况下,应考虑肾细胞癌的诊断。
