  6. OTHER DATA/IMAGING • EKG: Sinus tachycardia, HR 103, no acute ST/T-wave changes; • CXR: LLL infiltrate (? +/- left pleural effusion); normal cardiac silhouette • MRI of brain w/wo contrast: Left basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage of subacute to chronic intensity with mass effect on left frontal horn but is smaller than the one in February 2003. No edema or contrast enhancement to suggest tumor; hematoma is 5 x 3.4 cm; no acute bleed • CT Chest and Abdomen: Left exophytic renal mass (3.5 cm); small splenic cyst • Abdominal Sonogram: Solid 3 cm exophytic lesion mid pole left kidney (3.1 x 3.1 x 3.0 cm); right kidney 10 cm, left kidney 11 cm; no hydronephrosis or perinephric fluid collections • Ultrasound of LE extremities (repeated): clot extension to level of his Greenfield filter; bilateral obstruction

  7. HOSPITAL COURSE • Patient was started on IV Heparin, then Lovenox, and finally Fragmin subcutaneously despite he had a recent CVA given his risks of further organ compromise (renal, GI, etc) from his massive DVT • He did well and had no neurological events or decline • The MRI as described confirmed no tumor and PET was done which revealed no convincing evidence for intracerebral metastases as agent for CVA; there was no focal accumulations of tracer in either kidney as well • Patient was discharged home after 2U PRBCs for mild anemia. • He was then readmitted and underwent partial left nephrectomy where a diagnosis was made. In addition, he was referred to another institution for a second opinion regarding his stroke. • An additional diagnosis was made. . .
