title: 1.5-cm renal mass followed for 2 years without radiographic change.
abstract: An incidentally discovered 1.5 cm renal mass was followed by serial CT scans for a period of 2 years. The mass showed no signs of growth or change during this period. The patient underwent radical nephrectomy with pathology positive for renal cell carcinoma. The evaluation of small renal masses is reviewed.
