Linear straited vascular pattern: its implication on a renal angiogram clinical importance and pathologic verification.
A case of hypernephroma with neoplastic extension to the renal vein showing a characteristic linear striated vascular pattern on a renal angiogram is presented. A nephrectomy specimen was examined pathologically and angiographic correlation subsequently was inferred. Implication of this unusual pattern on the renal angiogram is emphasized through our experience and review of relevant literature in order to predict the prognosis and to prepare for radical treatment.
