The diagnostic value of angiogaphy in renal pelvic carcinoma has been discussed by many authors, but it has been found to be of less value for other renal disorders such as renal cell carcinoma or cysts. We performed angiographic study in 5 cases of renal pelvic carcinoma and reached the conclusion that this method was of some diagnostic value in the cases as follows: (1) Renal angiography is of great value for diagnosing renal pelvic carcinoma, especially when the diagnosis is uncertain with pyelogram and other measures. (2) Pararenal arteries, for example, pelvic and superior ureteric arteries are most important in the diagnosis of pelvic carcinoma and they are dilated and reveal the location of the tumor. (3) Selective renal angiography is more desirable than aortography because with this method pararenal arteries are very fine as compared with other vessels.
