[Imaging of kidney fibro-lipomatosis].

The purpose of this study is to promote a deeper understanding of problems connected with the issue of fibrolipomatosis among a large number of physicians. This pathology is of a great importance in the diagnostic process, both due to its high incidence rate, and to the fact that in some cases it imitates diseases that require surgical intervention. Kidney fibrolipomatosis is well-known to radiologists, but other specialists' knowledge of this pathology is rather limited. The prevalence of abdominal cavity US examinations, performed by various specialists, makes it necessary to draw physicians' attention to this disease.
