Pyelocancerous backflow during retrograde pyelography is a roentgen sign indicating renal tumors. An example of a pseudotumor (renal hematoma caused by anticoagulation) is presented which displayed this type of backlfow, demonstrating the nonspecificity of the sign. The diagnostic, especially radiographic, findings of intrarenal hematoma are discussed.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disease with many important manifestations in hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue. IgG4 is the least naturally abundant IgG subclass, and the hallmark feature of IgG4-RD is markedly increased IgG4-positive plasma cells (with an IgG4 to IgG ratio >40%) in affected tissue, along with elevated polyclonal serum IgG and IgG4 in most patients. Histological diagnosis is essential, and other key features include storiform fibrosis, lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, tissue eosinophilia, and obliterative phlebitis.

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGPN) is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory condition that affects the kidney and can often be hard to diagnose preoperatively due to its varying clinical presentations. We present here a rare case of a 36-year-old man with focal XGPN with preoperative CT imaging showing a large heterogenous lesion (computer tomography Hounsfield unit (CT HU) + 20) of size ~ 8.6 x 8.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic beryllium disease (CBD) is an interstitial lung condition caused by inhaling beryllium particles, and it can often be confused with sarcoidosis but has distinct characteristics and complications.
- A case involving a 60-year-old man revealed multi-organ involvement, with his kidney issues stemming from CBD rather than typical pulmonary symptoms, which were relatively mild.
- The report emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to consider CBD as a potential diagnosis in patients exhibiting granulomatous diseases, especially when they present with related respiratory issues, despite the absence of classical lung symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Advances in imaging methods have led to better detection of kidney lesions, which are common issues, especially in patients over 50, where over half may have undetermined kidney masses.
- Traditional methods like contrast-enhanced CT and MRI have limitations, including radiation exposure and potential allergic reactions, prompting a shift towards using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for more accurate diagnoses.
- CEUS is effective in differentiating between benign and malignant kidney tumors, making it a valuable, quick, and cost-efficient tool in preoperative evaluations of solid renal masses.
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS): applications from the kidneys to the bladder.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an advanced ultrasound (US) technique utilizing ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) to provide detailed visualization of anatomic and vascular architecture, including the depiction of microcirculation. CEUS has been well-established in echocardiography and imaging of focal hepatic lesions and recent studies have also shown the utility of CEUS in non-hepatic applications like the urinary system. The updated guidelines by the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) from 2018 describe the use of CEUS for non-hepatic applications.
