    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Radiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Renal carbuncle (cortical abscess) is a significant differential diagnosis for renal mass lesions.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective and timely treatment.

    Observation:

    • Diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical presentation, urography, arteriography, and ultrasonography.
    • Ultrasound offers an accurate and less invasive diagnostic approach compared to arteriography.
    • Needle aspiration can provide essential bacteriologic diagnostic information.

    Findings:

    • Non-surgical management with antibiotics alone can be curative for renal carbuncles.
    • Clinical and radiologic features of five presented cases were reviewed.
    • Ultrasound is a valuable tool in diagnosing renal carbuncles.
