Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Wilms tumor. It is the best initial diagnostic study used in cases suspected with Wilms tumor. It can help identify the mass as a kidney mass. Doppler ultrasonography can help to detect invasion of renal vein and IVC by the 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.[1]
- Doppler ultrasonography can help to detect invasion of renal vein and IVC by the tumor.[2]
