✦ Synopsis

Incidental detection of renal mass in a transplant patient is a diagnostic challenge. These patients are at risk for the development of neoplasms and, more commonly, infection with atypical organisms. Symptomatology may be lacking in either, and both conditions may present with similar symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation with gadolinium DTPA is helpful in the evaluation of asymptomatic renal mass, with enhancement effectively excluding simple and hemorrhagic cysts. Because the MRI appearances of renal cell neoplasm and renal abscess overlap, both must be considered in the differential diagnosis.

## Abstract Gadolinium‐DTPA enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been used to demonstrate uterine vascular changes during ovoimplantation and artificially induced decidualization in rats. Evans blue dye and Gd‐DTPA were injected i.v. into rats 10 h after unilateral decidualization was induc
