Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 17063
  • Image ID: 2117872
  • Study findings: Thickened appendix (yellow) is surrounded by extensive stranding in the adjacent fat in keeping with inflammation. The left kidney has a large heterogeneous upper pole mass (blue) consistent with a RCC, with likely extension beyond Gerota's fascia (red).
  • Modality: Annotated image
  • System: Gastrointestinal
  • Findings: The vermiform appendix is thickened and surrounded by extensive stranding in the surrounding fat. There is no abscess formation or free intra-abdominal air. Additionally left upper pole renal mass is present consistent with a renal cell carcinoma. The fat plane between the left crus of the diaphragm and the splenic artery above the mass is lost, which is suspicious for local invasion.
