title: [Small renal cell carcinoma- an update and management].
abstract: The detection of small renal cell carcinomas has increased after the introduction of ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) in the current practice. Their early detection has been extremely important for therapy and prognosis but has opened new diagnostic problems including differential diagnosis, surgical or non-surgical management and imaging follow-up. Small renal carcinomas can be either solitary or multiple, synchronous or metachronous. A synthetic review of incidence, clinical findings, imaging modalities and differential diagnosis of the small renal cell carcinoma will be presented.
