[Calcifications in renal adenocarcinoma. Image assessment in 17 cases].

Of 60 renal adenocarcinoma tumors that had been diagnosed at our hospital between 1984 and 1990, 17 had presented intratumoral calcification. These 17 tumors with calcification were studied to assess the sensitivity of different techniques relative to detection, localization and morphologic characterization of the calcifications. We can conclude from the study that the use of CT and US not only raised detection rate (28%), but also permitted more precise evaluation of the calcified tumor mass. Furthermore, tumor spread beyond the calcified area was found to be a sign of malignancy.

[Pyogenic hepatic abscesses: role of ultrasonography in their diagnosis and treatment].

We present 26 cases of pyogenic hepatic abscess diagnosed by echography, 14 of which were treated by percutaneous drainage guided by ultrasound. An analysis is made of the clinical and radiological findings, as well as the differential diagnosis of focal hepatic lesions. Due to the lack of clinical specificity in many patients, we recommend fine needle biopsy directed by ultrasound to confirm the suspicion of pyogenic hepatic abscess and isolation of noncausative microorganisms. We think that the treatment of choice in these patients is percutaneous drainage guided by echography.

Computed tomography in hepatic echinococcosis.

Computed tomography (CT) was used to evaluate 50 cases of hydatid disease of the liver. It was definite in 49 cases and negative in one case. Pre- and postcontrast scans were performed. CT may reveal the exact location and extension of cysts and possible complications. However, a false-negative case was found in a hydatid cyst located in a fatty liver.

[Wunderlich disease. First manifestation of a renal adenocarcinoma].

We present a case of the classical Wünderlich syndrome or circumscribed extracapsular renal hematoma in a 54-year-old male patient who had consulted for an inguinal mass and hemiscrotal ecchymosis. The patient had referred an episode of intense pain in the left renal fossa and the clinical picture of syncope 3-4 days earlier. Surgery disclosed severe perirenal hemorrhage from an undiagnosed renal adenocarcinoma that had ruptured.
