The sonographic images of hypernephromas.
The sonographic images of hypernephromas were examined in 46 histologically confirmed cases. The echogenicity of hypernephromas can be higher, equal or lower that of renal cortex. There is no significant correlation between echogenicity and macroscopic vascularity. The infiltration of a tumour cannot be estimated with certainty using sonography. Acoustic enhancement can also be seen behind hypernephromas.
