Differentiating the clinical and computed tomography imaging features of mixed epithelial and stromal tumors of the kidney to establish a treatment plan.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To differentiate the clinical features and computed tomography imaging features in the two types of mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney (MESTK) and to establish a treatment plan for the MESTK types.

Methods

Seventeen patients who underwent multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) before surgery and had a pathological diagnosis of MESTK were enrolled. Their clinical information (R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score (R.E.N.A.L.-NS), radical nephrectomy (RN), partial nephrectomy (PN), etc.) were collected. The radiological features included renal sinus fat invagination (SFI), maximal diameter (MD), capsule and septa of the tumor, etc., were also analyzed. They were divided into two types according to the MD_solid /MD_tumor ratio (solid type wi
