Atoperation the kidney was found tuberculous. The first evidence of cortical necrosis will, as a rule, bevisible at or just beyond the end of the calyces. The caly- INFLAMMATORY DILATATION 177 ces become irregularly enlarged and their Ijorders becomeindistinct. As the inflammatory process extends, the ne-crotic areas become larger and may cause irregular shadowsadjacent to the pelvic outline or appear as irregular areasscattered in various parts of the cortex. Occasionally theoutline of the necrotic area is apparently detached from
