Abstract

Primary thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney (PTLFC) is an unusual histological variant of renal cell carcinoma not included in the current WHO classification of renal tumors. Our paper illustrate the histological characteristics of vacuolar degeneration and CT signs of the case. The masses has the characteristic of Calcification, lower density than the renal cortex and stronger than the necrosis areas, its enhancement(65.33±14.66HU) has a moderate degree than the cortex(94.63±19.33HU) and make a frosted glasses shadow in the solid areas. ECT suggests low perfusion index and hypometabolism. These signs may help the diagnose of the disease before the operation.
