The aim of this educational exhibit is: 1. Outline the characteristics of papillary renal carcinomas (RCC) on Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) using data from pathologically confirmed solid renal masses. 2. To compare utility of CEUS for diagnosing papillary RCC versus other imaging modalities, such CT and MR. 3. Highlight clinical applicability of CEUS for diagnosis of solid renal masses in patients with renal failure.    

Description of the CEUS technique used in assessing renal masses, including the indications and contraindications of CEUS for assessing renal masses. Imaging characteristics of papillary renal cell carcinomas (RCC) with CEUS, including own imaging data from seven pathologically confirmed cases. Illustrative sample cases of CEUS in papillary RCCs. Comparison of utility of CEUS for diagnosis of papillary renal carcinomas versus other imaging modalities. Discussion of CEUS in setting of patient with renal failure: highlighting safety vs other imaging modalities; increased incidence of papillary RCC in end stage renal failure. Summary with take-home points.
