  • Title: CT and MRI of small renal masses.
    Author: Wang ZJ, Westphalen AC, Zagoria RJ.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 2018 Jul; 91(1087):20180131. PubMed ID: 29668296.
    Abstract:
    Small renal masses are increasingly detected incidentally at imaging. They vary widely in histology and aggressiveness, and include benign renal tumors and renal cell carcinomas that can be either indolent or aggressive. Imaging plays a key role in the characterization of these small renal masses. While a confident diagnosis can be made in many cases, some renal masses are indeterminate at imaging and can present as diagnostic dilemmas for both the radiologists and the referring clinicians. This article will summarize the current evidence of imaging features that correlate with the biology of small solid renal masses, and discuss key approaches in imaging characterization of these masses using CT and MRI.
