Multi detector Helical CT is accepted as the preferred imaging technique for diagnosis of renal tumor ,tumor staging and detecting metastases. This study was performed to evaluate the role of computed tomography in the detection and characterisation of renal masses and its correlation with clinical findings and histopathology. This study was a prospective study conducted from March. 2016 to February 2018 with 50 patients who were referred for characterisation of indeterminate renal masses that did not meet the criteria for simple cyst on previous ultrasound. MDCT scans of patients were conducted with plain scan followed by contrast scan and image analysis in console. Mean age of patients is 55 years with male: female ratio 2.33:1.Most common clinical feature of mass is flank mass. Most common renal mass in the study is renal cell carcinoma followed by renal cysts. Number of cases of renal cell carcinoma diagnosed by CT is 26. On histopathology 23 came out to be renal cell carcinoma and 3 came out to be transitional cell carcinoma.
