Contrast-enhanced ultrasound characterization of renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma: report of two cases.
Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma of the kidney is a relatively rare pathologic entity that has recently been described in the World Health Organization 2004 renal cell carcinoma classification. We report two cases of mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma in which contrast-enhanced ultrasound was used.
