[Echotomography-computerized tomography integration in the tissue characterization of renal angiomyolipoma].
A sonographic and a computed tomographic study of 29 patients was performed in order to assess the possibilities of these imaging techniques in tissue characterization of renal angiomyolipoma. From the review of the results the authors, confirming the very high accuracy of the two associated methods for a correct diagnosis, underline the possibility to identify the hamartoma mesenchymal components with the possibility of more prognostic and therapeutic informations.
