Ultrasonic angiographic and pathologic correlation of noncystic-appearing renal masses.
The ultrasonic echo pattern of renal masses is retrospectively correlated with the angiographic vascular pattern in 36 cases where a noncystic-appearing mass was identified by either study. Pathologic or cytologic correlation was available in 31 of these masses. In carcinomas the echogenicity was usually found to correlate well with the degree of neovascularity.
