Ultrasound & CT of Renal Oncocytoma

What this episode covers

In this radiology lecture, the ultrasound and CT appearance of renal oncocytoma is revealed. Key teaching points include: * Oncocytomas are benign, solid tumors. * 13% patients have multiple oncocytomas, and 1/3rd have concurrent renal cell carcinoma. * Central stellate nonenhancing scar only seen in 1/3rd of cases, and more commonly in larger tumors. * Spoke-wheel angiographic pattern may be present, best visualized on ultrasound using microvascular flow, AKA superb microvascular imaging. * Often not possible to differentiate from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with imaging. * Both oncocytoma and RCC can have central scar and/or spoke-wheel angiographic pattern. * Kim et al.* found segmental enhancement inversion (corticomedullary phase/early excretory phase) characteristic for oncocytoma, but subsequent studies have shown inconsistent results. * When evaluating a renal mass, if only have postcontrast and 15-minute delayed phase images, mass deenhancement of 15 HU or more suggests a solid mass, whereas no change is more consistent with a hyperattenuating cyst.** *Kim JI, Cho JY, Moon KC, et al.
