The radiological diagnosis of "avascular" renal tumours.
In the past 9 years we have encountered 3 renal space-occupying lesions, which were "avascular" at arteriography but which appeared to be tumours, as shown by renal puncture of "antegrade" pyelography, All had an irregular inner border demonstrated.
