title: [Ultrasound in the diagnosis of Wilms' tumor].
abstract: Ultrasound (US) play a very important role in the diagnosis of Wilms' tumour. The authors analyze the findings in 12 children affected by this neoplasia. The resolution power of 4 different diagnostic levels is also analyzed. They are: a) mass identification; b) diagnosis of the tumour nature; c) diffusion balance; d) recurrence control. The most relevant resolution power lies in the diagnosis of nature and in the recurrence control.
