In all cases, low-and high-signal masses were observed on Ti-and T2-weighted images, respectively. The cysts were unilocular with a sharply defined margin, ranging from 0.5 to 3.0 cm in diameter. The thin wall was of low signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Our experience suggests that MR imaging is useful in demonstrating the liquid content of prostatic and seminal-vesicle cysts and in establishing their size and location.
Pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is exceptional, but may appear many years after initial diagnosis and radical nephrectomy of an apparently limited tumour. We report one case of an asymptomatic isolated pancreatic metastasis discovered fortuitously, 21 years after right radical nephrectomy for a low-grade renal cancer.
In 1969, a 47-year-old man underwent right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma of “low-grade malignancy”. At this time, no metastases were evident and he remained well on follow-up.
Presentation of a statistic of 306 cases of primary congenital reflux operated by the extra-vesical procedure. Discussion of the indications for surgery and description of a few essential details in the operative technique. Analysis of the long-term results which are highly satisfactory as far as a delayed indication is not responsible for irreversible damage to the renal parenchyma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
