Macroscopic fat containing renal cell carcinoma
We describe two cases contrary to this axiom, the first being initially referred for angioembolisation, but subsequently biopsied when it was angiographically occult, whilst the second case showed a small macroscopic fat component and arterial enhancement prompting biopsy. Neither of these two cases demonstrated calcification which would usually suggest a more sinister lesion requiring further workup. The results demonstrated renal cell carcinoma for both lesions. Our multidisciplinary meeting approach to renal masses with a small amount of macroscopic fat and no calcifications has now changed.
