An enlarged Column of Bertin is a frequent cause of renal pseudotumor. In a retrospective study of the ultrasound findings in 11 patients with columnar hypertrophy, we have attempted to establish objective sonographic criteria of this entity. Columnar hypertrophy appears as a renal mass with the following characteristics: (1) indents the renal sinus laterally; (2) clearly defined from the renal sinus; (3) largest dimension of less than 3 cm; (4) continuous or contiguous with the renal cortex; and (5) Echogenicity close to that of the cortex. Two minor criteria are also presented, and the present appropriate use of the criteria is suggested.
肾柱肥大是肾假性肿瘤的常见原因。在一项对11例柱状肥大患者超声检查结果的回顾性研究中，我们试图建立该实体的客观超声标准。柱状肥大表现为具有以下特征的肾肿块：（1）向外侧压迫肾窦；（2）与肾窦界限清晰；（3）最大直径小于3cm；（4）与肾皮质连续或相邻；（5）回声与皮质相近。还提出了两条次要标准，并对这些标准的合理应用提出了建议。
