Renal cancer
• Treatment : Surgery
- Nephrectomy
- Radical nephrectomy
- Nephron spearing surgery
• Imprevisible evolution • Regular follow-up
Follow-up frequency Good prognosis pT1 V0 N0 M0 grade 1 2 Anual follow-up • Blood tests • Chest-Abomen-Pelvis
CT
Intermediary prognosis pT2-3, V+ ou N1, M0
grade 3 Control every 6 months
during 3 years • Blood tests • Chest-Abomen-Pelvis
CT Anual follow-up for the 2
following years
Follow-up frequency
Bad prognosis (pT4, V+ et N2, M1) Follow-up every 6 month (5 years)
Blood tests CAP CT After 5 years one follow-up a year
Follow-up frequency after nephron spearing surgery
• Blood tests and CAP CT during the 6
monthes following surgery as a base line CAP CT one time a year
• Doppler ultrasound in the week after surgery
Results in follow-up after treatment
Metastasis
• 50% of metastasis occurs during the two first years
• 80% winthin 3 to 5 years after treatment
• 5% can occur 10 years after treatment
Results in follow-up after treatment
Metastasis
• Lung (66 à 80%) • Bone (24 à 49%) • Liver (10 à 26%) • Brain (8 à 13%) • Adrenal (8 à 11%) • Skin (2 à 13%)
Results in follow-up after treatment
Metastasis • Controlateral kidney • Thyroid • Prostate, Ovairies • Gal bladder , Pancreas • Sinuses • Controlateral adrenal gland
Back ground (1/2)
• The wide use of CT and MR and US allowed to discover unsuspected solid renal
• The masses are both smaller and with a lower Fuhrman grade

Back ground(2/2) • The « Gold Standard » surgical treatment for renal
cancer used to be nephrectomy or radical nephrectomy • During the ten past years nephron spearing surgery
becomes the treatment of renal solid masses.

Nephrectomy versus nephron spearing surgery
• Survival prognosis : no difference between the two surgical tecnics
• Complications : More complications are describe with nephron spearing surgery (NSS)

• One or multiples of the following may be present :
-Cortical wedge -Rotation of the kidney
-Infiltration of the retoperitoneal fat -Decrease of the retrorenal fat
-Infiltration of the posterior abdominal wall
Usual appearence after NSS
Usual appearence after NSS
A B C
CT before (A) and (B) after injection : solid mass on the the anterior face of the right kidney. (C) post operative follow-up the tumorectomy scar is visible as a cortical wedge
Usual appearence after NSS
A Pre op CT : 15 mm mass of the lateral aspect of the right kidney
A B
B Post op CT : lateral rotation latérale of the right kidney, cortical wedge and important reduction of the retro renal fat. Infiltration of the peri renal fat and the posterior abdominal wall
C
C Post op CT : : the tumorectomy scar was filled with retroperitoneal fat
Infiltration of the peri renal fat and the posterior abdominal wall
A Pre op CT without injection : mass of the superior pole of the left
B Pre op CT after injection the wall of this cystic mass is thick and enhances (Uniloculat type III uniloculaire of Bosniak classification)
A
B
C Pre op MR (T1) the cystic mass is hypointense
D Pre op MR (T2) : the cystic mass is hyperintense and the wall is thick

Axial CT images before injection (A) arterial phase (B) delayed phase (C) post NSS. Infiltration of the retroperitoneal, modification (thickening) of the posterior abdominal wall, infiltration of the sub cutaneous fat
Surgical clips
- The use of surgical clips during NSS generates artifacts on follow-up imaging
- Because of the artifacts the analysis of the adjacent renal parenchyma may be difficult

Pitfalls and pseudo angiomyolipomas
- Pseudo surgical scar
- Pseudo AML

Post op MR the surgical site is filled by the retroperitoneal fat and looks like an AML
A B
Resorbable hemostatic material in the site of tumorectomy
• To avoid post op bleeding the surgeon fills the site of tumorectomy with resorbable hemostatic material.
• This material can simulate a renal mass on post op follow-up imaging

Peri renal fluid collections - Hematoma :
* sub capsular * peri renal
- Urinoma
- Lymphocele

Sub capsular hematoma
The peri renal collection contains contrast media on the delayed phase : fistula of the renal cavities in the peri renal space

Post op follow-up : Arterial phase (A) tubular phase (B) : A faulse aneurism is detected in the site of tumorectomy

CONCLUSION • Cross sectional imaging detect small renal
solide mass as incidental findings • NSS replace radical nephrectomy • Usual aspects on post operative imaging
have to be recognized by radiologists to avoid faulse diagnosis
• The different complications must also be recognized to treat them either surgically of by inteventional radiology
