When describing carcinomas, poorly differentiated defines how little the tumor tissue resembles the normal tissue it came from. The origin of these types of tumors cannot be determined by histological findings alone. Imaging findings and patient history play a strong role in determining the source of the patient’s cancer. Imaging features of urothelial cancer of the renal pelvicaliceal system can be challenging for any sonographer or radiologist. When tumors are hyperechoic relative to nearby renal parenchyma, they may be obscured by the surrounding hyperechoic renal sinus fat, causing these carcinomas to be difficult to detect regardless of whether they are well defined or poorly differentiated. This case study delves into the difficulty in sonographically imaging a poorly differentiated transitional cell carcinoma without sonographic evidence of a primary circumscribed mass.
