Giant Abdominal Masses from Obstructive Uropathy: Report of an Elusive Diagnosis
Abstract
Summary: A 9-year old boy with abdominal masses from obstructive uropathy which eluded diagnosis over a 4-year period, is reported. Appropriate radiological investigations eventually established the diagnosis, but unfortunately after irreparable renal damage had occurred. The pitfalls in the diagnosis of the patient as well as the important role of radiology in establishing accurate diagnosis of difficult abdominal masses are discussed.
