Renal cysts are common in old patients, and usually remain untreated. Giant renal cysts measuring more than 15 cm in greatest diameter are uncommon and the association with hypertension is very rare. We present a case of a 25-year-old woman with a giant right renal cyst associated with hypertension that was treated by laparoscopic excision, followed by resolution hypertension.

Complement C3 of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles promotes metastasis of RCC via recruitment of immunosuppressive myeloid cells.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

January 2025

Zhongda Hospital, School of Life Sciences and Technology, Advanced Institute for Life and Health, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China.

Heterogeneous roles of complement C3 have been implicated in tumor metastasis and are highly context dependent. However, the underlying mechanisms linking C3 to tumor metastasis remain elusive in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Here, we demonstrate that C3 of RCC cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) contributes to metastasis via polarizing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) into the immunosuppressive phenotype and recruiting polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs).

The current study examined the underlying mechanism and the effect of 1,3-thiazin-6-one on the growth of renal cancer. The findings showed that 1,3-thiazin-6-one treatment inhibited the growth of xenograft tumors in a dose-dependent manner in mice model of renal cancer. Furthermore, when 1,3-thiazin-6-one was administered in a dose-dependent manner to mice with renal cancer, the expression of the proteins p-PI3K and p-Akt significantly decreased.

Metanephric stromal tumor as a rare differential diagnosis of a renal mass in children - a case report.

Pediatr Radiol

January 2025

Pediatric Radiology, Kinderradiologie, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, corporate member of Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt-Universität Zu Berlin, Augustenburger Platz 1, Berlin, 13353, Germany.

This report presents the case of a benign metanephric stromal tumor that occurred in the kidney of a 5-year-old boy and in which differentiation from a nephroblastoma was successful. Radiological assessment played the decisive role in this case, as the low initial volume, a high apparent diffusion coefficient, and lack of rapid tumor growth were considered atypical for a nephroblastoma. The boy underwent successful kidney-preserving resection without neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination helped to accurately define the tumor margins.

Value of Noncontrast-Enhanced Vessel Wall MRI in Longitudinal Venous System Invasion Before Robot-Assisted Radical Nephrectomy.

J Endourol

January 2025

Department of Radiology, Nurturing Center of Jiangsu Province for State Laboratory of AI Imaging & Interventional Radiology, Zhongda Hospital, School of Medicine, Southeast University, Nanjing, China.

To explore the value of vessel wall MRI (VW-MRI) in the preoperative assessment of T3 renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) with varying degrees of longitudinal venous system invasion. Patients with RCC with pathological T3 stage between January 2016 and December 2023 were included in this retrospective study. All the patients underwent contrast-enhanced CT (CECT), conventional MRI (con-MRI) or VW-MRI.
