title: The kidney: radiologic-pathologic correlation.
abstract: Selected concepts of MR-pathologic correlation of renal masses are presented in this article by way of illustrative examples, with an emphasis on renal adenocarcinoma. Where applicable, practical uses of these concepts are suggested, particularly in those cases in which the differential diagnosis might be narrowed, such as in the evaluation of angiomyolipoma. Also included is a discussion of management decisions that may be affected by the information provided by MR imaging.
