Presentation
Incidental finding in CT scan of a patient with cough and breath shortness.
Patient Data
Patchy subpleural and intraparenchymal opacities are seen in both lungs, suggestive of COVID19 pneumonia.
In imaged portions of the abdomen and complementary abdominopelvic images, a 150×145×140 mm well defined hetero-enhancing mass is present at the lower pole of the left kidney.
In addition, a 75 mm simple cortical cyst is noted in the right kidney.
The prostate gland is enlarged.
Case Discussion
The patient had positive RT-PCR for COVID 19. After isolation and COVID 19 assay, the patient underwent a left nephrectomy, and the histopathology evaluation confirmed renal cell carcinoma.
