title: An argument for epinephrine renal arteriography in the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma.
abstract: Two cases are presented where the diagnosis would have been missed or would have been very difficult with selective angiography only; the use of the epinephrine technique made these renal cell carcinomas obvious. The authors feel that epinephrine should be used in the presence of all renal masses to exclude or confirm the presence of renal cell carcinoma if this is not already obvious by selective arteriography alone.
