A practical guide and decision-making protocol for the management of complex renal cystic masses
Objectives: To analyse the management, pathology and outcomes of complex renal cystic masses (CRCM) and to develop a decision-making tool for daily clinical care using the Bosniak classification system for CRCM. Patients and methods: A comprehensive dataset of 185 patients with 188 CRCM and a minimu...

Results: We analysed 35 Bosniak II, 34 Bosniak IIF, 58 Bosniak III, and 61 Bosniak IV lesions. The overall incidence of renal cell carcinoma was 8.6%, 29.4%, 62.1%, and 78.7% for each category.
