Summary
Primary renal carcinoid tumors are rare, often presenting as calcified renal masses on CT scans. Definitive diagnosis requires pathological examination, improving radiologist awareness of these rare kidney tumors.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Primary renal carcinoid tumors are exceedingly rare, with limited reported cases and even fewer studies detailing their imaging characteristics.
- Understanding the imaging manifestations is crucial due to the tumor's rarity.

01:20The Retinoblastoma Gene

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
