Case report: computed tomography of "Page" kidney

Area of Science:

• Radiology
• Urology
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Page kidney is a rare condition characterized by urinoma encasing the kidney, leading to renal dysfunction.
• Radiologic assessment is crucial for diagnosing Page kidney and differentiating it from other renal masses.

Observation:

• Initial computed tomography (CT) scans identified a significant mass in the left renal region.
• A subsequent CT study with contrast medium demonstrated centrally enhanced renal tissue surrounded by an avascular zone.

Findings:

• The contrast-enhanced CT findings were indicative of a Page kidney.
• CT imaging provided the most critical diagnostic information among the radiologic examinations performed.

Implications:

• Accurate CT interpretation aids in the timely diagnosis and management of Page kidney.
• This case highlights the utility of CT in evaluating complex renal abnormalities.
