Introduction: Renal masses include a heterogenous group of kidney lesions which lead to enlargement of kidney. Both benign and cancerous growths can cause increase in kidney size. The advent of USG and CT in recent years has lead to the early recognition of small asymptomatic lesions during the examination performed for the reasons other than for a suspected renal mass. It is recommended that USG should be the initial screening modality in a patient suspected of having renal mass and CT should be used for further characterisation of the lesion as well as the staging of the malignant lesion. In the present study we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound and CT in the detection of renal masses and comparison of findings of these imaging modalities. Aims and objective: 1. To evaluate the patients with renal masses by ultrasonography [USG] and computed tomography[CT]. 2. Comparision of findings of USG and CT. Material and methods: The prospective study was carried out in the Department of Radio-diagnosis, Rajindra Hospital, Patiala.The present study included 60 patients.Patients presenting with clinically suspected renal masses confirmed on USG in both males and females of any age group were included in the present study. Results:Out of 60 patients included in study RCC was found in 29 patients, Wilm?stumour in 3, metastasis in 4, renal lymphoma in 2,angiomyolipoma in 4, abscess in 7, pyonephritis in 4, hydatid cyst in 1, renal hematoma in 1, perinephric collection in 1, oncocytoma in 1, complex cyst in 2 patients and adrenal mass in 1 patient.In evaluation of renal masses on CT ,our study shows 96.55%sensitivity,96.77%specificity,96.55% positive predictive value,96.77%negative predictive value and 96.6% accuracy. In .In evaluation of renal masses on USG,our study shows 89.66% sensitivity,87.10%specificity,86.66% positive predictive value,90.0%negative predictive value and 88.3% accuracy.
