Cystic Renal Masses: An Imaging Update

Publication date: Available online 22 December 2017 Source:European Journal of Radiology Author(s): Ryan D. Ward, Erick M. Remer Management of incidental renal masses is in evolution. Recognition that cystic renal tumors generally act in an indolent fashion has led to less aggressive intervention. The ability of radiologists to stratify risk of malignancy, and in some cases, specify a precise diagnosis, is paramount to patient management. We review pathologies that present as cystic renal masses and how to best stratify malignancy risk.
