Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1. Imaging features of the clear-cell renal cell carcinoma subtype. (A, F) (T2WI), and (B) (fat-sat T2WI) show a heterogeneous lesion with liquefied or necrotic areas. (C) (CT) and (D) (magnetic resonance imaging) images show hyperenhancement in the corticomedullary phase, simillar to (E) (magnetic resonance imaging). (G) and (H) images demonstrate signal drop on opposed-phase imaging, demonstrating intralesional microscopic fat.
Figure 2
Figure 2. Papillary (A–D) and chromophobe RCC (E–H) features. PRCC is shown in (A) (T2WI imaging) as a homogeneous intermediate signal nodular lesion, hypovascular on (B) (CECT), and presenting marked diffusion-weighted imaging restriction (C) and low signal on the ADC map (D). Chromophobe RCC features are shown on (E–H) as a large heterogeneous lesion, hypovascular, with a central scar.
