Questions and Answers

What ultrasound characteristics may allow accurate recognition of a renal angiomyolipoma in the early stages?

  • Well-circumscribed, hyperechogenic, and homogeneous mass with back wall attenuation as the tumour grows (correct)
  • Diffuse, hyperechogenic, and heterogeneous mass with central necrosis and strong back wall echoes
  • Irregular, hypoechoic, and heterogeneous mass with front wall attenuation as the tumour grows
  • Well-circumscribed, hypoechogenic, and homogeneous mass with front wall attenuation as the tumour grows
  • What ultrasound findings are indicative of calcified hydatid cysts?

  • Hypoechoic irregular mass with posterior enhancement
  • Hypoechoic mass with well-defined margins and no internal echoes
  • Bright, echogenic convex line with acoustic shadowing (correct)
  • Diffuse hyperechoic mass with internal debris
  • How do congenital cysts in the kidney differ from alveolar echinococcosis?

  • Congenital cysts are hyperechoic and may contain debris, while alveolar echinococcosis presents as multiple bilateral cysts in the kidney
  • Congenital cysts are echo-free and without mural calcification, while alveolar echinococcosis may cause kidney enlargement (correct)
  • Congenital cysts are always enlarged and may show back wall attenuation, while alveolar echinococcosis presents as echo-free lesions
  • Congenital cysts appear as irregular masses with acoustic shadowing, while alveolar echinococcosis presents as a well-circumscribed, hyperechogenic mass
