Diverse diseases cause multiloculated renal masses, often requiring surgical diagnosis or treatment. Conservative management is suitable for cystic conditions, while arteriovenous communications have specific interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Multiloculated renal masses stem from various underlying pathologies.
  • The term 'multilocular cyst' lacks diagnostic specificity.
  • Management strategies for these diverse masses remain debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the differential diagnoses of multiloculated renal masses.
  • To discuss the diagnostic limitations of percutaneous biopsy.
  • To outline appropriate management strategies based on specific diagnoses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of medical literature on multiloculated renal masses.
  • Analysis of diagnostic accuracy of percutaneous biopsy.
  • Correlation of imaging findings with histopathology.

Main Results:

  • Percutaneous biopsy accuracy is insufficient for guiding management in most cases.
  • Cystic renal diseases (e.g., septated cyst) warrant conservative treatment.
  • Arteriovenous communications are typically diagnosed via angiography and treated with vascular occlusion or surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Multiloculated renal masses represent a heterogeneous group of conditions.
  • Histologic diagnosis via surgical removal is often necessary for definitive management.
  • Tailored approaches are essential, considering the specific etiology of the renal mass.
