Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 46
Abstract
BACKGROUND The term renal mass includes a large number of expansile entities, which are aggregates of non-functional renal parenchyma. Renal masses can be neoplastic, non-neoplastic or normal variants. Aims and Objectives- To study the role of computed tomography in defining the nature of renal masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS 50 patients irrespective of age and sex, suspicious of malignant renal masses were included in this study. Toshiba 128-slice Computed Tomography Scan was used for scanning of all patients, plain and contrast both studies were performed and collected data was analysed. RESULTS Computed tomography was a very useful investigation for malignant renal masses, because it has got the ability to better characterise the lesions and it is accurate for pre-operative staging. CONCLUSION This can be concluded from our study that contrast CT scan is an investigation of choice for pre-operative staging of malignant renal masses due to its ability in demonstrating perinephric extension, invasion of renal fascia, evaluation of retroperitoneum and detection of distant metastases.
