Objective?To evaluate the value of various CT features in differentiating renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) with minimal fat and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods?The Cochrane Library, PubMed, MEDLINE (OVID), EMBase, and the Chinese Periodical Wed (CNKI, CBM, VIP) were searched. They were searched from Jan 2001 to Nov 2008. Trials screening, quality assessment, and data extraction was conducted according to the inclusion criteria recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. The SROC curve and meta-analyses were performed by Meta-disc 1.4. Results?Seven trials, involving 482 patients and 513 tumors, were included. The studies were highly homogonous. It was considered that 8 features including single or multiple lesions, scanning density, calcification, angle with cortex, levering-cortex-up sign, lesions pro-trusion, homogeneous enhancement, and prolonged enhancement, played certain roles in differentiating RAML with minimal fat and RCC. Among these features, interface with the cortex was the most important, and the features of homogeneous enhancement and prolonged enhancement were the second most important. Conclusion?Besides measuring lipoid tissue in the tumor, there are another 8 features which are valuable to the differentiation of RAML with minimal fat and RCC.
