During a 3 year period, 24 cases of renal cell carcinoma by means of ultrasonography have been observed. Seven of the 24 patients presented signs and/or symptoms of renal disease (29.2%); in 6 cases a malignant disease of unknown origin was suspected (25%) and in the other 11 the diagnosis was directed to gastrointestinal diseases (45.8%). The incidental finding of a renal malignant tumor by ultrasound in a high percentage of cases suggested an increasing use of this technique in hospitalized patients.
在3年期间，通过超声检查观察到24例肾细胞癌。24例患者中有7例出现肾病的体征和/或症状（29.2%）；6例怀疑为不明来源的恶性疾病（25%），另外11例诊断为胃肠道疾病（45.8%）。超声检查在高比例病例中偶然发现肾恶性肿瘤，这表明该技术在住院患者中的使用越来越多。
