Ossifying renal cell carcinoma.
In older children, ossifying renal cell carcinoma is a potential explanation for a network of well-organized, curvilinear high-attenuation areas in a renal mass. Since ossification of renal cell carcinoma is a favorable tumor marker that implies a less extensive resection, it is important to anticipate this tumor before surgical resection is undertaken.
