  • Title: Calcified renal masses.
    Author: Patterson J, Lohr D, Briscoe C, Briscoe G, Flanigan RC.
    Journal: Urology; 1987 Apr; 29(4):353-6. PubMed ID: 3551278.
    Abstract:
    A review of the literature and the University of Kentucky Medical Center/Lexington Veterans Administration Medical Center experience regarding calcification of renal masses was undertaken. Twenty per cent of calcified renal masses cannot be easily characterized by CT scan as malignant or benign and are indeterminate. These lesions must be followed closely with follow-up CT scanning or undergo surgical exploration, as 40 per cent may be malignant.
