title: [Echotomography in nephroblastoma and neuroblastoma of the lumbar fossa in childhood. Comparison with intravenous pyelography and computerized tomography (author's transl)].
abstract: The respective values of intravenous pyelography, ultrasound examination and computerized tomography are compared with the findings at surgery and with histological data in 28 children with malignant tumors of the lumbar fossa. Ultrasound proved to be of significant value in assessing the extent of the tumor. At the present time, computerized tomography is only indicated when intravenous pyelography and ultrasound examination fail to provide adequate information.
