Abstract EN
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of radiologic findings of renal masses by comparing them with the histopathologic diagnoses from our personal experience in partial nephrectomy specimens.
Methods: We reviewed the histopathological reports of 49 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy in a 10 year duration at Prince Hussein bin Abdullah urology and organ transplant centre Results: Only 32 patients of 49 harbored renal cell carcinoma in their specimens with a percentage of 65.4%.
The remaining 15 patients had benign renal conditions in a percentage of 30.6% Conclusion: Partial nephrectomy is gold standard for small renal masses, which lead to preserve renal tissue and decrease morbidity and mortality from chronic kidney disease knowing that not all masses proved to be renal cell carcinoma.
Despite the fact that renal CT-Scan with IV contrast is considered as the modality of choice for the diagnosis of renal tumors still there is a false positive rate although low but exist.
