Abstract

This brief report focuses on the evaluation and diagnosis of clinically localized renal masses in children and adults with Von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease. Counseling considerations pertinent to the urologists, medical oncologists, and multidisciplinary teams involved in the care of these patients are addressed. As practice patterns regarding the evaluation and management of VHL tumors can vary considerably, this report aims to provide guidance on some of the controversies associated with the diagnostic evaluation and initial management of localized renal masses in VHL patients.
