Abstract

There is a large range of benign and malignant renal neoplasms. This article lists the most benign, indeterminate and malignant renal tumours that occur during infancy and childhood. It briefly describes the most important entities, including their imaging features, and important complications. Differential diagnosis and pitfalls are discussed, and a brief suggestion for a standardised imaging algorithm is proposed. Although modern imaging techniques, including colour Doppler sonography, helical or multidetector CT, and MR have significantly improved imaging potential, the definite diagnosis on tumour entity still is established only by histology.
