CT, performed in 66 patients with suspected renal tumors, showed renal cell carcinoma in 36. Tumor spreading was correctly established in 80.6%. Accurate diagnosis was made in 64 of 66 cases. The authors regard CT as an effective method for the recognition of sizable processes and differential diagnosis of solid tumors. Among the visual methods of investigation, used to define a tumor stage, CT turned out to be the most effective one.
