Bosniak classification of renal cysts is a radiologic classification system for kidney cysts. It originally consisted of four categories (I, II, III, IV).[1][2]
A subsequent modification turned it into a five category system:
| Category | Percent malignant | Management | Radiological Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bosniak I | 0% | no follow-up necessary | Simple cyst |
| Bosniak II | 0% | no follow-up necessary | Minimally complex (septa <1mm or thin calcification; non-enhancing attenuation due to proteinaceous or haemorrhagic contents) |
| Bosniak IIF | 5% | follow-up (4 years[3]) | Minimally complex (increased septa, but minimally thicknened/nodular; perceived, but not measurable enhancement) |
| Bosniak III | 50% | excise to r/o malignancy | Indeterminate (thick or nodular septa with measurable CT enhancement) |
| Bosniak IV | 100% | almost certainly malignant | Clearly malignant (solid mass +/- cystic/necrotic component) |
Note:
- The "F" in IIF have minimally suspicious features and should get follow-up imaging.[4]
