Adult Wilms’ tumour: an illustration of multimodality imaging characteristics

An ultrasound of the abdomen demonstrated a large mass arising from the left kidney with a smooth echotexture and patchy areas of signal heterogeneity ( figure 1 ). The renal mass demonstrated poor intrinsic vascularity on power Doppler assessment. A CT scan showed an expansile hypoenhancing solid t...

Zusammenfassung:An ultrasound of the abdomen demonstrated a large mass arising from the left kidney with a smooth echotexture and patchy areas of signal heterogeneity ( figure 1 ). The renal mass demonstrated poor intrinsic vascularity on power Doppler assessment. A CT scan showed an expansile hypoenhancing solid tumour arising from the mid-upper pole of the left kidney ( figure 2 ). Histology showed a tumour composed of hyperchromatic spindle cells with an immunohistochemistry profile consistent...
