One hundred and twelve renal masses, whose histology was confirmed at operation, as well as renal vein thrombosis and renal infiltration, were examined by urography, sonography, CT and angiography. In general the results showed good agreement. For the diagnosis of the type of tumour, its size, infiltration into the renal capsule, demonstration of regional lymph node metastases and infiltration into neighbouring organs and for the diagnosis of liver metastases, CT was superior to the other methods.

Objective: To evaluate the association between tumour size and the growth rate (GR) of small renal masses (SRMs) in patients managed by active surveillance (AS).

Materials And Methods: We queried the prospective, multi-institutional Delayed Intervention and Surveillance for Small Renal Masses (DISSRM) registry for patients on AS with an imaging interval of ≥6 months, identifying 456 patients. We tracked tumour size over time; a GR >0.

Patient engagement and shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and clinicians is the foundation of patient-centered care. It aims to reach a treatment option that fits the patient's preference and is guideline-concordant. We sought to evaluate the possible causes and outcomes of patient's non-guideline-concordant care choices.

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor characterized by excessive secretion of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), leading to phosphate loss and systemic osteomalacia. Despite recent progress in PMT research, no consensus on diagnosis and treatment guidelines has been established. This case series describes the clinical and pathological features of six pathologically confirmed PMT patients treated at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from 2010 to 2024, aiming to provide new insights for the management of this condition.

Background: The Bosniak classification is designed to standardize evaluation of cystic renal masses and to communicate the risk of malignancy.

Purpose: To determine whether radiologists vary in their communication of Bosniak class III and IV cystic renal masses.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 186 patients with CT or MRI reporting a Bosniak class III or IV mass.

Background: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a rare non-malignant disorder characterized by excessive proliferation of histiocytes, the cause of which remains unknown. Although the lymph nodes are the most commonly affected site, some patients may present with extranodal involvement, particularly in the skin, nasal cavity, eyes, and bones. In this report, we aim to present a unique case of RDD with pleural involvement in a 61-year-old patient.
