Aetiology of Kidney Tumours
1983
Surveys of possible aetiological factors were made by one of us in 1963 and in 1967 (1,2), reviewing 441 articles hoping to find some clues to the causes of tumours of the kidney.
Utility of 3 Tesla diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (DWMR) imaging for the characterisation of small solid renal tumours
2012
Purpose: To determine the utility of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) for the characterisation of small solid renal lesions. Methods and Materials: 26 patients (GFR 30-60 mL/min) with 39 small (1-3 cm) solid renal masses [16 RCCs (10 clear cell types; 6 other types); 18 AMLs (10 fat-containing; 8 minimal-fat) and 5 oncocytomas] were examined on a 3 T system using DW-SS-EPI (b-values 0, 1000 s/mm2). The ADC of the lesions and the ADC of kidney were evaluated. Receiver operator characteristic analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of ADC for differentiating clear cell RCCs from other type RCCs, AMLs and oncocytomas. Results: The mean ADC of the lesions [1.22± 0.27 28 mm…
Die endoskopische retroperitoneale Adrenalektomie
2008
Aim of study To determine prospectively in consecutive patients the value of endoscopic retroperitoneal adrenalectomy. Patients and methods Between March 1994 and March 1995, endoscopic adrenalectomy via a retroperitoneal approach was performed in eleven patients (three men, eight women; median age 61 [48-73] years), unilateral in nine, bilateral in two. The procedure was indicated if the adrenal tumour was thought to be benign and no larger than 5 cm in diameter (two adrenal and two central Cushing's syndromes; three incidentally detected adrenal adenomas, two phaeochromocytomas, two Conn adenomas). Results Twelve of the 13 procedures were successfully performed. In one case the primary in…
