  1. Indeterminate 2.7 cm lesion in the right lower pole of the kidney with peripheral rim enhancement and focal diffusion restriction. Findings are most concerning for papillary renal cell carcinoma versus lipid poor angiomyolipoma.
  2. No evidence of metastatic disease in the abdomen.
  3. Cholelithiasis without acute cholecystitis.

The images were reviewed and interpreted by Diana Murcia Salazar, MD.
