Abstract

Synchronous metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are extremely uncommon with only few sporadic cases published in the literature and data on their elastographic appearance are lacking. Here we described a case of woman with multinodular goiter bearing a RCC metastasis, in which exhaustive ultrasonographic and qualitative elastographic evaluation were performed. The metastatic lesion presented some suspicious ultrasonographic features but was mainly “soft” at qualitative elastographic evaluation, suggesting that RCC metastasis may represent a possible pitfall for the qualitative elastographic evaluation of thyroid nodules.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
