β¦ Synopsis
The ultrasonic findings in 10 patients with diffuse leukemic infiltration of the kidneys are described. The findings are analogous to those seen pathologically and include enlargement of the kidneys, diffuse leukemic infiltration of the renal cortex with sparing of the adjacent medullae, loss of definition and distortion of the renal sinus echo complex and a focal mass. The ultrasound findings correlated well with those seen with intravenous urography making it the preferable screening modality for the initial detection of renal involvement, subsequent follow-up and response to therapy in leukemic patients.
