Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Calcified renal masses can originate from various conditions, necessitating differentiation from renal cancer.
  • Renal cancer, particularly in adults, presents diagnostic challenges, especially when calcifications are present.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze a series of patients with calcified renal cancer.
  • To discuss the diagnostic approach for calcified renal masses.
  • To differentiate calcified renal cancer from other calcified renal masses.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 7 patients diagnosed with calcified renal cancer.
  • Analysis of calcification patterns, tumor staging, treatment modalities, and patient outcomes.
  • Comparison with existing literature on calcified renal masses and adult renal cancers.

Main Results:

  • Seven patients (5 male, 2 female, mean age 51) with calcified renal cancer were identified.
  • Calcification patterns varied: arcuate (1), disseminated (5), and mixed (1).
  • Tumor stages included T1 (1), T2 (3), and T4 (3). Five underwent radical nephrectomy; two had unresectable tumors.
  • Outcomes varied: 2 alive with no recurrence, 1 died of myocardial infarction post-nephrectomy, 1 lost to follow-up, and 3 with spindle cell renal cancer died within months.

Conclusions:

  • Any calcified renal mass should raise suspicion for malignancy.
  • Calcified renal cancer exhibits diverse calcification patterns and staging.
  • Prompt diagnostic evaluation is crucial for suspected calcified renal masses.
