A renal carbuncle (cortical abscess) is an important and treatable consideration in the differential diagnosis of renal mass lesions. Diagnosis is accomplished using a combination of clinical, urographic, arteriographic and ultrasonographic findings. Ultrasound is an accurate and less invasive alternative to arteriography. Needle aspiration of the abscess contents may give a bacteriologic diagnosis. Non-surgical treatment with antibiotics alone may be curative. Five cases are presented, and clinical and radiologic features are reviewed.
肾痛（皮质脓肿）是肾肿块病变鉴别诊断中一个重要且可治疗的考虑因素。诊断需结合临床、尿路造影、动脉造影及超声检查结果来完成。超声是一种准确且侵入性较小的动脉造影替代方法。脓肿内容物的针吸活检可做出细菌学诊断。单独使用抗生素进行非手术治疗可能治愈。本文报告5例病例，并对临床和放射学特征进行综述。
