## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is increasing, largely due to the widespread use of crossβsectional imaging. Most renal tumors are detected incidentally as small, asymptomatic masses. To study their natural history, the authors prospectively followed a series
tional RCC and extensively cystic Bosniak Grade 2 or 3 disease, which may be difficult to diagnose reliably using either fine-needle or core-needle biopsy. Correlation of the results presented by Volpe et al. with the additional findings discussed in the current correspondence may be useful.
