Study of 164 primary malignant tumors of the kidneys. Radiological-pathological correlation in 43 cases

In our days, the radiology is essential; for the early diagnosis of the small renal tumors. We realized a research with 164 patients with renal tumors is our institution (INCa-RJ). The radiologic aspects were correlated with the macroscopic ones in 43 cases selected from our first group (164 patients). We found significant similarity according to the literature in the following aspects: histologic type (the relative frequency), sex, age, sonographic and tomographic aspects. Unfortunately, the patients are sent to our hospital very lately, some of them with large tumors. (author). 16 refs, 15 figs, 5 tabs
