  • Title: [Diagnosis of space-occupying renal processes: sonography and aimed fine-needle biopsy].
    Author: Zimmermann W, Frank N, Weiss-Simon C, Bartl G, Burkhard B, Seidel F.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1981 Sep 03; 99(33):1275-80. PubMed ID: 7297974.
    Abstract:
    It is reported on 3 cases in which by sonographic examination a tumorous process could be established. In all cases the additional investigation by fine needle biopsy and cytological examination proved the presence of malignant cells. This local renal process proved by sonography could be verified neither by i.v. pyelographic nor arteriographic methods. For two patients the diagnosis based on sonography, fine needle puncture and cytological test could be verified by operation. The third patient was not operated in spite of malignant cells in the cytogram because of negative computer tomography provided by an external hospital.
