Abstract
Characterized by a wide range of nonspecific symptoms, renal cell carcinoma tends to be found only at advanced stages or when kidney failure occurs. In this case report we describe the incidental finding of a 6 cm renal cell carcinoma in a 47-years old hypertensive female patient with peculiar symptomatology. Contrast-enhanced-US showed supplementary intratumoral necrotic areas rising the suspicion of renal carcinoma, which was confirmed by CT and histology. Incidental detection rate of renal masses has increased, ultrasound, and especially contrast-enhanced-US having an important role in its diagnosis.
