Renal venography in diagnosis of infiltrating transitional cell carcinoma of renal pelvis.

Urologic evaluation of a ninety-two-year-old man with hematuria suggested lower segmental renal infarction on selective renal angiogram. Nonvisualization of the lower segmental venous tributaries and capillaries on renal venogram was consistent with the operative findings of microscopic infiltrating transitional cell carcinoma. The use of renal venography in these tumors is suggested.
