Misdiagnosis of renal cell carcinoma by computed tomography with angiography: a potential pitfall.

Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The introduction of helical computed tomography (CT) has led to an increase in the number and complexity of CT protocols. This situation has resulted in a new source of error in the interpretation of CT scans. The authors report a case in which a hyperattenuating cyst discovered incidentally at the time of CT with angiography could have been misdiagnosed as renal cell carcinoma.
