Volume 9, Number 3Case ReviewSpontaneous Renal Artery DissectionCase ReviewJamie A KanofskyHerbert LeporSpontaneous renal artery dissection (SRAD) is a rare event, and thus may be a challenge for physicians to diagnose and treat. We report a case of SRAD in a healthy 56-year-old male who presented with flank pain, fever, and elevated white blood cell count. The patient was initially diagnosed with nephrolithiasis versus pyelonephritis and was admitted for observation. Multiple imaging modalities, including non-contrast computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium, CT angiogram, and intraoperative angiogram, were used to make the final diagnosis of SRAD. The patient was treated with endovascular stent placement and is currently free of pain with normal laboratory values and blood pressure.

Volume 9, Number 1Reviews in UrologySolitary Fibrous Tumor of the Kidney: A Case Report and Review of the LiteratureCase ReviewLaila ChbaniKaoutar ZnatiFadl TaziTaoufik HarmouchHinde El FatemiSanae BennisAfaf AmartiImane KamaouiA solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an unusual spindle cell neoplasm that usually occurs in the pleura but has recently been described in diverse extrapleural sites. Urogenital localization is rare, and only 19 cases of SFT of the kidney have been described. We report a case of a large SFT clinically thought to be renal cell carcinoma arising in the kidney of a 70-year-old man. The tumor was well circumscribed and composed of a mixture of spindle cells and dense collagenous bands, with areas of necrosis or cystic changes noted macroscopically and microscopically. Immunohistochemical studies revealed reactivity for CD34, CD99, and Bcl-2 protein, with no staining for keratin, S-100 protein, or muscle markers, confirming the diagnosis of SFT. This tumor is benign in up to 90% of cases. The immunohistochemical study is the key to diagnosis. [Rev Urol. 2007;9(1):36-40]KidneyImmunohistochemical studyRenal neoplasmSpindle cells
Volume 19, Number 2Case ReviewTransitional Cell Carcinoma of the Renal Pelvis With Venous Tumor ThrombusAntony DevasiaJ Chandra SinghArun Jacob Phillip GeorgeOnkar SinghRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignancy that results in venous tumor thrombosis. Transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis with renal or vena cava thrombus is extremely rare. Fewer than 40 cases have been reported. We report a similar case of a patient who underwent radical nephrectomy with a preoperative diagnosis of RCC.
