腎腫瘤穿刺造影診断

Abstract

Thirty-one renal space occupying lesions were evaluated by the cyst puncture and aspiration test complex. Techniques of this method, accuracy, analysis on aspirated fluid, cystographic findings and morbidity were analyzed. As for morbidity, we have experienced 4 minor complications and one possible needle tract seeding. Although this cyst puncture and aspiration test complex is relatively non-invasive and this method is appraised in evaluating renal mass especially that of asymptomatic renal space occupying lesions incidentally found in elderly people, possibility of puncturing malignant lesion and hence hazard of puncturing malignant lesion and hence hazard of needle tract seeding should be borne in mind. Surgical exploration of renal mass is recommended in doubtful case showing bloody aspirate or abnormal cystographic findings.
