Abstract:

Accurate and timely diagnosis of benign renal tumors is often complicated, mainly because of the large variety of manifestations. 102 patients with various renal tumors were included in the study; in 9 of them (8.8%) tumors were verified as benign. Specimen were obtained by surgical tumor excision (8 cases), and ultrasound guided needle biopsy (1 case). The importance of pre-operative CT and MRI is shown for accurate diagnosis of benign renal tumors, in particular, angiomolipoma and multilocular cystous nephroma. Authors also discussed complicacies in radiodiagnostics of benign renal tumors.
