Abstract
The early detection of many renal cell carcinoma is now available by the development of imaging methodology.Ultrasonography is one of the most useful tool for early diagnosis of the cancer and the screenings because of its non-invasiveness and repeatability. However, diagnosis is difficult in some cases because clinical echographic features of the tumor showed various patterns. The comparison between the echographic appearance and the pathohistological pattern of the renal cell carcinoma has been studied in detail1-5, but the relation has not been concluded at the present time.
