신장 호산성과립세포종의 영상의학적 소견 = Radiologic Findings of Renal Oncocytomas

국문 초록 (Abstract)

RO는 경계가 좋은 고형종괴로써, 석회화를 포함할 수 있다. 조영전 CT 영상에서 신실질과 유사한 밀도의 균일한 종괴로 보인다. 조영후 영상에서는 불균일하게 조영증강되는데, 역동적 조영증강 검사의 동맥강조기에서 주변부는 강하게 조영증강되었다가 시간에 따라 점차 조영이 약해지고, 중앙부는 시간에 따라 점차 조영이 증강되어 시간에 따른 조영증강의 부분적 역전현상이 관찰되었다. 이러한 영상의학적 특징이 관찰되는 경우에는 RO의 가능성을 시사할 수 있으며 이를 통해 환자의 예후를 예측하고 수술 방법을 술전에 결정하는데 도움을 줄 수 있으리라 생각한다.

Purpose : To radiologically differentiate renal oncocytoma from other renal solid tumors, we analyzed and characterized, retrogradely, radiologic findings of renal oncocytomas.
Materials and Methods : Radiologic findings of pathologically proven renal oncocytoma were analyzed in 9 patients. CT was performed in all patients, ultrasonography in 4 patients and MRI in 3 patients. (51)
Results : On ultrasonography, the echogenicity of the mass was slightly more hyperechoic than normal renal parenchyma in all 4 cases. Two cases were homogeneous and the remaining two cases were relatively homogeneous. On CT, all 8 cases showed iso-density to slightly low density compared to normal renal parenchyma and 5 cases were homogeneous but the central portion of the mass was of a slightly lower density than the peripheral portion in 3 cases. All six cases had an arterial phase scan and were heterogeneously enhanced. An irregular, lower-enhancing portion was found in the central portion of the mass. Segmental inversion of contrast enhancement was found in 5 of 6 cases that had a dynamic enhancement study. On MR Tl-weighted imaging, the mass was of iso-signal intensity to normal renal parenchyma and the central portion of the mass had a slightly hypo-signal intensity than the peripheral portion. On T2-weighted imaging, 2 cases were heterogeneous; the peripheral portion was of low signal intensity and the central portion was of higher signal intensity than normal renal parenchyma. One case was relatively homogeneous and showed a slightly lower signal intensity than that of normal renal parenchyma, except for a central small portion showing high signal intensity. For 2 cases that had a dynamic study, a segmental inversion of contrast enhancement was noted.
Conclusion : Renal oncocytoma is seen as a well-marginated solid mass lesion. On enhanced scans it is heterogeneously enhanced and segmental inversion of contrast enhancement may be seen. The possibility of oncocytoma can be suggested in cases showing these radiologic findings.
