Abstract

Gray scale B scans in renal sinus lipomatosis show a variety of features which must be differentiated from clinically significant pathological processes. Normal kidneys show dense homogeneous central echoes. In renal sinus lipomatosis, however, the central echoes are divided and become more sparse (Type I), interspersed with small relatively echo free areas (Type II), or outline a single relatively echo free area resembling a mass (Type III). In contrast to similar features in hydronephrosis or multiple cysts, the relatively echo free areas in lipomatosis are ill defined and do present several weak internal echoes.
