Abstract

In the following presentation the criteria of solid kidney tumours and their differential diagnosis are demonstrated. 175 patients operated upon since 1976 demonstrate the significance of ultrasonography for early detection of kidney tumours. The results show that early detection of kidney tumours is possible by nephrosonography; an early and simple operation can be performed and improves prognosis dramatically.
