“…For instance, renal cell carcinoma can spread via lymphatic drainage from the kidney to the paraaortic lymphatics, and systemic malignancies such as lung and stomach carcinomas can find their way to the kidney via the lymphatic vessels. Hence, evaluation of the perinephric lymphatics by images such as MRI is of clinical importance when evaluating those conditions [10]. The lymphatics also play a critical role after kidney transplantation since lymphoceles and lymphorrhea can develop especially with the common use of steroids and mTOR inhibitors for immunosuppression following transplantation increasing the risk of renal allograft rejection [11].…”

The kidney vasculature has a unique and complex architecture that is central for the kidney to exert its multiple and essential physiological functions with the ultimate goal of maintaining homeostasis. An appropriate development and coordinated assembly of the different vascular cell types and their association with the corresponding nephrons is crucial for the generation of a functioning kidney. In this review we provide an overview of the renal vascular anatomy, histology, and current knowledge of the embryological origin and molecular pathways involved in its development. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in renal vascular development is the first step to advance the field of regenerative medicine.

“…The renal hilar lymphatics involve adrenal glands [32]. Matsumoto et al [33] reported that by using a heavily T2-weighted three-dimensional MRI sequence, these lymphatic vessels can be frequently and clearly identified, with the highest detectability in the renal hilar lymphatics, which involve the adrenal glands [32]. These anatomical features may explain the following unexplained characteristics in TAFRO syndrome: first, paraaortic edema and perirenal edema were observed in almost all cases in patients with early stage TAFRO syndrome, even in those without pleural effusion or ascites [7].…”

This systematic review article aims to investigate the clinical and radiological imaging characteristics of adrenal abnormalities in patients with thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis, renal dysfunction, and organomegaly (TAFRO) syndrome. We searched the literature in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science Core Collection. Ultimately, we analyzed 11 studies with 22 patients plus our 1 patient, totaling 23 patients. The mean age was 47.0 ± 12.6 years. There were 20 male and 3 female patients, respectively. The histopathological analysis of lymph nodes was conducted in 15 patients (65.2%), and the diagnosis was consistent with TAFRO syndrome in all 15 patients. Among the 23 patients, 11 patients (18 adrenal glands) showed adrenal ischemia/infarction, 9 patients (13 adrenal glands) showed adrenal hemorrhage, and 4 patients (7 adrenal glands) showed adrenomegaly without evidence of concurrent ischemia/infarction or hemorrhage. One patient demonstrated unilateral adrenal hemorrhage and contralateral adrenomegaly. In patients with adrenal ischemia/infarction, the adrenal glands displayed poor enhancement through contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). In patients with adrenal hemorrhage, the adrenal glands revealed high attenuation through non-enhanced CT and hematoma through magnetic resonance imaging. Adrenomegaly, with or without adrenal ischemia/infarction or hemorrhage, was observed in all patients (23/23, 100%). The subsequent calcification of the affected adrenal glands was frequently observed (9/14, 64.3%) when a follow-up CT was performed. Abdominal pain was frequent (15/23, 65.2%), all of which occurred after the disease’s onset, suggesting the importance of considering TAFRO syndrome as a cause of acute abdomen. Given the absence of evidence of adrenal abnormalities in non-TAFRO-idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD), they may serve as diagnostic clues for differentiating TAFRO syndrome from non-TAFRO-iMCD.
