IVU signs of tumor growth may be
enumerated as follows
Obliteration, partial or complete, of calyces and
pelvis.
Elongation of calyces, with compression or
dilatation (so called “spider leg” deformity)
Displacement of calyces.

When, in carcinoma of the renal pelvis, the
obstructive hydronephrosis becomes very
marked, it may be impossible to show the tumor
either by the intravenous or retrograde
pyelography, because in the former case the
contrast medium is not concentrated adequately
to demonstrate and in the latter the contrast
medium can not be injected into the pelvis.

clinical concern.
Typically, carcinoma presents as a solid mass with
irregular infiltrating margins and with attenuation
coefficients similar of less than unenhanced renal
parenchyma (30 to 60 HU). A consistent feature of
these tumors however, is the presence of necrotic
or hemorrhagic areas within the tumor, which cause
considerable inhomogeneous density. Areas of
necrosis and hemorrhage produce lower CT values
(15 to 45 HU) than normal renal parenchyma,
although fresh hemorrhage may have higher CT
values (60 to 79 HU)
Calcification may also be present within
the mass.
Bladder carcinoma
Bladder carcinoma is the most frequent
malignancy of the urinary tract.
Most patients range in age from 50 to 70
years.
Gross hematuria and bladder irritability, with
urinary frequency and dysuria, are the most
common signs and symptoms.
The tumor metastasizes either by a
