Ultrasound in the diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: A case report

“…On ultrasound, however, very large, irregularly defined cystic lesions have been found to suggest the diagnosis of pyonephrosis (4). This is in contrast to the diffuse renal involvement and enlargement without change in parenchymal sonar homogeneity seen in this patient .…”

“…It may be difficult to differentiate between xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and pyonephrosis by plain film, intravenous pyelography, or ultrasound. On ultrasound, however, very large, irregularly defined cystic lesions have been found to suggest the diagnosis of pyonephrosis (4). This is in contrast to the diffuse renal involvement and enlargement without change in parenchymal sonar homogeneity seen in this patient .…”

Echographic evaluation of abdominal tumor regression during antineoplastic treatment

“…DISCUSSION Recently, remarkable achievements have been reported in the clinical application of ultrasonic V O L U M E 2, NUMBER 2 139 echography for the diagnosis of soft tissue tumors originating from the heaptobiliary tract (I-? '), the pancreas (8-12), the kidney (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22), the retroperitoneal space (23)(24), and the internal female organs (25)(26)(27)(28). When treating malignant abdominal tumors, it is often difficult to assess the effect of antineoplastic therapy.…”

Der Wert der Sonographie in der Diagnostik renaler raumfordernder Prozesse*

“…In Bauchiage des Patienten wurden mit unterschiedlichen Geräteeinstellungen (sensitivity graded) systematisch Längsund Querschnitte der Nierenregion angefertigt. Die durchschnittliche Untersuchungszeit betrug[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] Für die Lokalisation raumfordernder Nierenprozesse beträgt die Treffsicherheit der Sonographie: 55/59 93%. (Siehe die Zusammenstellung in Tabelle 1!)…”
