Question

Microscopic Hematuria

The ultrasound reveals a hyperechoic cortical lesion in the right kidney.

What is the next diagnostic step?

ANSWER

The CT scan shows lipid content, at -36 Hounsfield Units. Anything below 0 is fat!

It is an angiomyolipoma, benign, therefore, a definitive diagnosis with no need for a biopsy.
