摘要
The term "pseudotumor" is used to refer to several anatomic variants that can simulate a renal mass, the most frequent of which are hypertrophied column of Bertin, persistence of fetal lobation, and the dromedary or splenic hump. We describe the findings of power Doppler US after the ultrasound contrast agent (Levovist, Schering, Berlin, Germany) administration in 4 patients with a renal focal lesion in whom gray-scale and baseline power Doppler US was not able to certainly differentiate pseudotumor from neoplasm.
