Renal oncocytoma MRI

Introduction

Overview

Overview

Renal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of renal oncocytoma. Findings on MRI suggestive of renal oncocytoma include central scar, satellite pattern, pseudo-capsule, hypointensity in T1 and hyperintensity in T2 weighted images. Although, none of these characteristics can differentiate between renal oncocytoma and renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
