    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Radiology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Renal masses with calcifications are common findings.
    • Distinguishing between benign and malignant calcified renal masses can be difficult using imaging alone.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the literature and institutional experience with calcified renal masses.
    • To assess the diagnostic accuracy of CT scans for characterizing calcified renal masses.
    • To determine appropriate management strategies for indeterminate calcified renal masses.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review.
    • Retrospective analysis of cases from University of Kentucky Medical Center and Lexington Veterans Administration Medical Center.
    • Review of CT scan characteristics of calcified renal masses.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty percent of calcified renal masses were indeterminate on CT scans.
    • Forty percent of these indeterminate lesions were found to be malignant.
    • Indeterminate lesions require further investigation or close follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Calcification in renal masses poses a diagnostic challenge.
    • Indeterminate calcified renal masses necessitate careful follow-up or surgical intervention due to a significant risk of malignancy.
