title: Angiographic aspects of tumors of renal pelvis and ureter.
abstract: Selective renal arteriography was done in 5 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis and upper ureter. In 2 cases, the presence of tumor vessels was unequivocally diagnostic. In the remaining 3 cases, the arteriographic changes were not as prominent but were suggestive of neoplasm and were helpful in differentiating other causes of filling defects in the collecting system.
