A Radiology-pathological Correlation of Renal Cell Carcinoma in a Tertiary Care Hospital - A Retrospective Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: This study was conducted to understand the clinical algorithm of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Correlation was done by a clinical presentation with radiological features and histopathology of RCC. The stress upon to understand the necessity for a team approach between clinician, radiologist, and pathologist and vice versa is emphasised. Aim: The aim of this study was to correlate the histopathology of RCC with the radiological features. Materials and Methods: The total number of renal tumors studied during the 8-year period was 45 cases, of which 25 cases were diagnosed by histopathology as various types of RCC conclusively. This is a retrospective study of renal tumors, diagnosed by histopathology as various types of RCC. All the relevant clinical data of the patients were searched from the ward records. The various radiological features were collected. Results: The total number of renal tumors studied during the 8-year period was 45 cases, of which 25 cases were diagnosed by histopathology as various types of RCC conclusively. Magnetic resonance imaging provides molecular information with regard to RCC and potentially aid in biopsy planning. The total cases reported in the department are 25 cases out of which 16 cases are attending follow-up after 3 years. Conclusion: The Fuhrman grading of RCC correlated grading of RCC. Pre-operative radiological classification can be used as a supplement to the histopathological grading. RCC needs correlation between radiologist, pathologist, and clinician.
