| Sumario: | Abstract Background Enhancement washout technique in solid renal masses using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) can differentiate different type of lesions. 99 Patients who are presenting with suspected renal masses or renal tumour for staging are included in this study. CT examination are carried out at urology and nephrology centre using MDCT. The attenuation values (Hounsfield Unit) will be assesed for each lesion on the pre enhanced, corticomedullary, nephrographic and delayed phases. Washout ratio will be calculated for each phase of enhancement in comparison to the unenhanced attenuation value. The characteristics of enhancement-washout will be correlated with the final histopathological diagnosis. Results Early enhancement and washout pattern was noted in 54 renal lesions (54.5%) representing 4 types of renal lesions; Oncocytoma (n = 13), clear cell renal cell carcinoma (n = 16), Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (n = 15) and unclassified renal cell carcinoma (n = 10).Prolonged enhancement pattern was noted 45 lesions (45.4%); PRCC (n = 14), 10 case of lipid poor AML (n = 10), metanephric adenoma (n = 10) and Xp11 RCC (n = 11). High pre-contrast attenuation was noted in Xp 11RCC showing attenuation value 41.7 ± 6.823HU. The highest CMP values were noted in CCRCC (151.9 ± 20.4) followed by oncocytomas (137.6 ± 19.15HU) and then CHRCC (123.6 ± 16.6 HU)while the lowest values were noted in Metanephric adenoma)57.1 ± 17.4HU)and followed by PRCC (59.9 ± 4.8)and followed by lipid poor AML (79.17 ± 13.666) and RCC unclassified (89.06 ± 18.1). Conclusions Four-phase MDCT (the unenhanced, corticomedullary, nephrographic, and excretory phases) evaluate role of MDCT in differentiation of solid renal masses. |
