This paper reports a rare case of cirsoid renal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) that showed radiological characteristics of a renal malignancy. Using only conventional procedures such as computerized tomography, the present case was misdiagnosed as a solid tumor mass and therefore radical nephrectomy was indicated. Angiographic analysis is expected to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of AVM, thus reducing the need to resort to invasive techniques.
本文报道了一例罕见的蔓状肾动静脉畸形（AVM），其表现出肾恶性肿瘤的放射学特征。仅通过计算机断层扫描等传统检查手段，该病例被误诊为实体肿瘤，因此当时建议进行根治性肾切除术。血管造影分析有望提高AVM的诊断准确性，从而减少采用侵入性技术的必要性。
