Renal vein thrombosis presenting as renal mass.
The excretory urogram of patients with acute renal vein thrombosis typically demonstrates symmetric enlargement of the involved kidney. We report a case of renal vein thrombosis that presented as a discrete renal mass on excretory urography and abdominal computerized tomography. The entity of renal vein thrombosis is briefly reviewed along with the computerized tomography findings seen in this setting.
