title: [Importance of computed tomography in metastatic kidney tumors].
abstract: The value of computed tomography for discovery and assessment of primary tumors has been investigated in 54 malignant kidney tumors with already existing distant metastases. The method is compared to the diagnostic data obtained by urography. Computer tomography proved to be the most informative method to examine the state of tumor spreading and, therefore, determines the further diagnostic procedure.
