Overview
On ultrasound, transitional cell carcinoma is characterized by solid, hypoechoic mass located within the renal pelvis or within a dilated calyx.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound has a limited role to play in either diagnosis or staging transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract in general.
- On ultrasound examination transitional cell carcinomas appear as solid, albeit hypoechoic masses located within the the renal pelvis or within a dilated calyx (also known as an oncocalyx).[1]
- In patients in whom ultrasound is technically difficult care must be taken to not interpret the hypoechoic mass as hydronephrosis.
- Rarely transitional cell carcinoma with squamous metaplasia and abundant keratin formation appear echogenic and densely shadowing and may mimic a renal calculus.
