[Calcified renal cysts (author's transl)]

G Benhamou, P Léger, C Grossin

    Journal De Chirurgie
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Calcified renal cysts containing blood can be incidentally found on abdominal X-rays. Differentiating these from kidney cancer or hydatid cysts requires advanced imaging and sometimes surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Renal cysts can undergo calcification, presenting diagnostic challenges.
    • Calcified renal masses require differentiation from other pathologies like tumors or infections.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of calcified renal cysts with internal hemorrhage are presented.
    • Incidental discovery via plain abdominal X-ray, showing round, finely calcified masses.
    • Echogenic on ultrasonography and avascular on arteriography.

    Findings:

    • Peripheral calcifications are key to differential diagnosis.
    • Distinguishing from renal cell carcinoma, hydatid cysts, and other calcified renal diseases is crucial.
    • Parasitic immunological reactions and renal arteriography aid diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of calcified renal cysts is essential for appropriate patient management.
    • Surgical exploration may be necessary for definitive diagnosis and treatment (kystectomy).
    • Highlights the importance of comprehensive evaluation for renal masses.
