Differential diagnosis of asymmetrical renal cortex thickening and solid renal tumours.

Nowadays the number of asymptomatic, incidental tumors being detected increased as a result of the widespread use of noninvasive abdominal imaging modalities, including ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging.
