TUMOR DE UROTELIO SUPERIOR DIAGNÓSTICO DIFERENCIAL POR IMÁGEN RADIOLÓGICA
To perform the adequate treatment ofupper urinary tract lesions it is very important to have anexact diagnosis. When the suspicion of an upper tracturothelial tumor is established the initial evaluation iscarried out by imaging diagnostic tests (intravenousurography, pyelography, and others). The association ofradiological tests and urine cytologies allows us to getto a correct diagnosis in most cases. Upper urinary tractendoscopy solves some equivocal cases, but sometimesit is impossible to clarify the nature of the lesion in spiteof a comprehensive diagnostic effort. Therapeutic decisionshould be individualized in these cases.The objective of this article is to describe the various featuresof upper tract urothelial tumors in a variety of availableimaging tests, and to review all conditions that may havesimilar images, describing the characteristic radiologicalfindings for each of them.We discuss about differential diagnosis and perform acritical evaluation of the diagnostic difficulties thatoccasionally present upper urinary tract diseases.
