What are the characteristics of renal hamartoma B ultrasound

summary

Renal hamartoma is a benign tumor, which is also called angiomyolipoma. Hamartoma can occur not only in the kidney, but also in the brain, lungs and many other parts of the body. Let's talk about the characteristics of renal hamartoma B ultrasound.

What are the characteristics of renal hamartoma B ultrasound

First: renal hamartoma contains a lot of fat tissue, fat and surrounding tissue acoustic impedance difference is very big, so in B-ultrasound examination performance for strong echo; and renal cell carcinoma because there is no fat tissue, B-ultrasound examination performance for low echo, but sometimes encounter atypical renal hamartoma, fat composition is very small, at this time with renal cancer differentiation has certain difficulty.

Second: the patients with hamartoma are quite characteristic in B-ultrasound examination. The fat and blood vessels in the tumor show densely distributed hyperechoic areas, and the muscle and bleeding parts show hypoechoic areas. Patients can be diagnosed according to symptoms and signs, combined with imaging examination.

Third: the diagnosis of renal hamartoma is generally not difficult, it can be diagnosed by B-ultrasound, CT or MRI, but it needs to be differentiated from renal malignant tumor. However, for hamartoma with less fat in clinic, it is often necessary to combine B-ultrasound, CT and MRI to make a definite diagnosis.

matters needing attention
