Abstract
Leukemic involvement of the kidney was demonstrated by computed tomography in 5 children. The findings were bilateral diffuse nephromegaly (2 cases), unilateral diffuse nephromegaly (1), discrete intrarenal mass lesion (1) and a hilar mass lesion (1). In 3 children undergoing local radiation therapy, the leukemic kidneys responded well to treatment. Computed tomography appeared to be valuable in the diagnosis of leukemic renal involvement, in radiation planning and in the evaluation of the therapeutic effects.
