Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen shows a well-defined, heterogeneously enhancing lesion measuring 7.2×9.2x11.2 cms arising from the interpolar region of the left kidney with areas of necrosis or cystic changes. The left renal vein is compressed by the mass. The infrarenal IVC is pushed to the right. The tumor abuts the left renal pelvis - however the pelvicalyceal system is undilated.
