ABSTRACT
Background: Renal cell carcinomas (RCC) are primary malignant adenocarcinomas derived from the renal tubular epithelium and are the most common malignant renal tumor. They usually occur in 50- 70-year-old patients. Aim: Radiological evaluation of patients of renal cell carcinoma by modalities like USG, CT-Scan and MRI. Materials and methods: All the patients were cases of renal cell carcinoma that had come to Department of Radiology in Dhiraj Hospital. They were evaluated by different modalities like USG, CT-Scan and MRI after taking consent when and where needed. Results: Renal cell carcinoma followed age and sex trends which means 72% patients were males and 28% patients were females and most of the patients were above 50 years of age. Conclusion: CECT is the modality of choice for evaluation of renal cell carcinoma patients as it gives the information not only about the localization but also the distant spread of tumor. MRI can be used as an alternative and also to know about the renal vein and IVC invasion by the tumor. USG as is a cheap and easily available method can be used to screen the patients with a palpable flank mass and those with hematuria.
