Renal pseudotumors are non-neoplastic lesions which can mimic renal malignancy in imaging methods. They often reqiure further investigations after grey scale ultrasound (GS-US) in order to confidently exclude expansive masses. Aims: To assess the value of CEUS in differential diagnosiss of renal pseudotumors. To assess pseudotumors' frequency occurence among lesions directed to more sophisticated examinations after GS-US. Materials and methods: 125 patients with 131 renal masses directed to further investig…
