Info

A 22 mm exophytic mass (86HU in attenuation value) was seen in the lower pole of the left kidney.

Case Discussion

Ultrasonography evaluation shows that the left renal lesion is a solid mass and not a complicated cyst. The patient underwent a left partial nephrectomy, and histopathology confirmed a renal cell carcinoma, the most common malignant renal tumor.
