Abstract
This article illustrates the imaging characteristics of cystic and solid renal masses, along with a summary of identified imaging criteria that may be of use to differentiate masses that are more likely to be benign from those that are more likely to be malignant. In addition, important features of known or suspected renal cancers that should be identified before treatment are summarized, including staging of renal cancer and RENAL nephrometry. Finally, the imaging appearance of patients following treatment of renal cancer, including after partial or total nephrectomy, thermal ablation, or chemotherapy for metastatic disease, is reviewed.
