Antopol-Goldman lesion
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Antopol Goldman lesions are very rare presentations of subepithelial hemorrhage in the renal pelvis, presenting as discrete mass-like hematomas.
Pathology
The cause of these lesions is uncertain, although non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) overuse, trauma, and amyloidosis have been implicated.
Radiographic features
Discrete mass-like lesion in the renal pelvis, with an attenuation greater than water (>10 HU). It does not enhance after administration of IV contrast.
Differential diagnosis
The problem with Antopol Goldman lesions is that their discrete appearance is likely to be confused with a renal neoplasm. Unfortunately, they are almost always diagnosed after a partial nephrectomy.
