“…In study conducted by Warshauer et al [25] specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of USG for the detection of renal masses were 91%, 82% and 73% respectively. Our study correlates with study of Levitt et al [11] which concluded that CT and USG offer complementary and supplementary role in the evaluation of renal and pancreatic disease.In their study specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CT for detection of renal masses were 100%, 90%, 100% and 96.88%. Accuracy was 97% as against 96.6% in our study.…”

Introduction: This article demonstrate the imaging characteristics of cystic and solid renal masses, along with a summary of identified imaging criteria that may be of use to differentiate masses that are more likely to be benign from those that are more likely to be malignant. Aim and Objectives: To evaluate the patients with renal cancer by ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) and to compare the findings of USG and CT. Material and Methods: Present study was conducted on 60 patients presented with renal masses, initially evaluated with ultrasonography (USG) and later on characterization of the mass was done by using computed tomography (CT). Results: CT has higher sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) on correlation with USG. Conclusion: CT is capable of detecting tumor invasion of perinephric fat and adjacent muscles, which cannot usually seen by ultrasound. While both CT and ultrasound demonstrate venous and retroperitoneal tumor extension, CT is more reliable.

The extension of a pancreatic pseudocyst into the mediastinum is a difficult clinical and radiographic diagnosis. The chest roentgenogram reveals a retrocardiac mass in a patient with nonspecific upper abdominal and chest complaints. Usually there is a preceding history of alcoholism or pancreatitis. The upper gastrointestinal series often demonstrates typical displacement of the distal esophagus anteriorly and to the left. The value of computed tomography is illustrated. Correct preoperative diagnosis is important for proper surgical treatment, since a mediastinal pseudocyst is best managed without thoracotomy.
