Abstract
Benign tumors of the kidney are rare conditions; their preoperative diagnosis is of great importance, as in many cases it avoids the need for a total or even extended nephrectomy. Cases (10) of benign renal tumors, which were explored by ultrasound were identified as: adenoma, 1 hemangiopericytoma, 4 angiomyolipomas, 2 oncocytomas and 2 multilocular cysts. The ultrasound appearance of these tumors does not seem to be specific. Only the angiomyolipoma had a typical appearance in 2 cases, while the other 2 cases had an appearance no different from an adenocarcinoma or from any other benign tumor.
