[Clinical definition of asymptomatic abdominal masses].
Five patients with asymptomatic abdominal masses (abdominal leiomyosarcoma, giant hydronephrosis, renal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the lung metastatic to the adrenal gland, retroperitoneal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) are reported. Non invasive investigations such as Echography and Computed Tomography, are very advantageous for the quick diagnosis of asymptomatic abdominal masses and for subsequent therapy.
