title: [The value of renal phlebography in the differential diagnosis of arteriographically hypo- or avascular lesions in the kidney (author's transl)].
abstract: The present paper is an investigation into the diagnostic value of renal phlebography for differentiating between arteriographically hypo- and avascular malignant lesions in the kidney and benign renal masses. In three examinations carried out on eight patients with renal masses, phlebography was of crucial diagnostic importance. In ten renal cysts a presumptive diagnosis made by arteriography was confirmed by phlebography. In another eight renal cysts, a case of haemorrhagic pyelitis and in two cases of unilateral pseudotumerous pyelonephritis, phlebography was of no value.
