Update on Renal Neoplasms: Clinicopathologic-Radiologic Correlation With Case-Based Examples.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE. This article provides a brief overview of the clinicopathologic and radiologic correlation of 12 renal neoplasms, encompassing the conventional subtypes of renal cell carcinoma and a few of the newly recognized subtypes from the 2016 World Health Organization classification of renal tumors. In addition, we touch upon infrequent neoplasms that may enter the differential diagnosis of a renal mass, with corresponding radiologic and gross images and histologic findings of case-based examples. CONCLUSION. Familiarity with the radiologic and pathologic characteristics of renal cell carcinoma and other renal neoplasms is important to correctly identify and treat these masses.
