title: The contused kidney, an angiographic picture.
abstract: Problems in the interpretation of an angiogram of a contused kidney are reported. The angiogram showed signs of avascularity and tumor vessels and a malignancy was considered. However, on operation the kidney appeared to be contused but otherwise normal. One should be aware of the possibility of pitfalls arising in early angiograms of contused kidneys.
