The nubbin sign on computed tomography and sonography
Abstract
The loss of parenchyma in the lower pole of a kidney with a duplicated collecting system may mimic a mass on urography ("the nubbin sign"). Computed tomographic findings of this entity are diagnostic. The diagnosis may be difficult to make using sonography alone.
