Overview

Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of wilms' tumor.

Ultrasound

• Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of wilms tumor.
• It is the best initial diagnostic study used in cases suspected with wilms tumor.
• Ultrasonography can help identify the mass as a kidney mass.
• It can distinguish tumor mass from other causes of renal swelling like hydronephrosis.
• Doppler ultrasonography can help to detect invasion of renal vein and IVC by the tumor.
