Retroperitoneal teratoma is the third most common primary retroperitoneal neoplasm of childhood ranking behind neuroblastoma and nephroblastoma. Ten per cent of these tumors are malignant. Two cases of benign retroperitoneal teratoma are reported, and the first description of the angiographic appearance of such a tumor is presented.
There are clinical situations that may preclude the use of retrograde pyelography and renal arteriography in the differential diagnosis of the absent, dysgenetic and non-functioning kidney. At times these procedures are non-diagnostic. We present 8 cases to demonstrate the efficacy of selective renal phlebography as an aid in the diagnosis of these entities.
The first reported case of an infected pyelocaliceal diverticulum associated with an ipsilateral sterile pleural effusion is presented. Partial excision and drainage of the lesion led to a return to normal of urinary and chest findings.
