Classificação de Bosniak para cistos renais complexos: histórico e análise crítica

Abstract: The Bosniak classification for renal cysts was developed in the late 1980s in an attempt to standardize the description and management of complex cystic renal lesions. Alterations were made to such a classification in the 1990s and, the last one, in 2005. Currently, five categories of cystic renal lesions are defined - namely, I, II, II-F, III and IV –, according to their degree of complexity and likelihood of malignancy. Despite being initially described for computed tomography, this classification has been a… Show more

“…Since 1986, the Bosniak radiological classification has become a useful tool for decision making pertaining to patients with renal cystic lesions [1]. In 1993, the IIF group was added to the classification, and since then, in spite of the multiple dilemmas generated around its limitations, there has been an implied understanding that the management of renal cystic lesions depends on the probability of malignancy: low probability (Bosniak I, II, and IIF) vs. high probability (Bosniak III and IV) ) [2,3,4].…”

“…Based on imaging findings, renal cysts are classified as simple (Bosniak categories I and II) or complex (Bosniak categories III and IV), with an intermediate category (Bosniak II-F) [ 1 ]. Simple renal cysts are benign and usually asymptomatic so that generally no treatment is required.…”

“…However, the Bosniak classification is based on visual assessment of enhancement after contrast material administration, and quantitative parameters are not included. 2 Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), which relies on the random motion of free water molecules, has been widely used for the early diagnosis of acute cerebrovascular ischemia, hematoma, abscess, and the characterization of neoplastic masses. 3 Recently, DWI has become more familiar and has gained a definitive role in the evaluation of abdominal malignancy in lymph nodes, and renal, liver, pancreas, prostate masses.…”
