Abstract

The incidental detection of small enhancing renal masses presumed to be renal cell carcinoma has increased due to the widespread use of cross-sectional body imaging. Active surveillance of these lesions has been pursued in elderly or infirm patients. Here we review the current data regarding the growth kinetics, pathology, stage progression, and clinical management of renal masses under active surveillance. The limitations of these data are discussed.
