Objective: Our objective is to develop an approach using algorithmic predictive models to discriminate between common solid renal masses, including RCC subtypes and Renal Oncocytoma [RO], using multiphase Computed Tomography [CT]. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a group of solid renal masses between January 2011 and December 2021 regarding the CT attenuation values using a CT scanner with 64 parallel detector rows and clinical parameters. Inclusion criteria included patients who had four phases of CT with a partial or radical nephrectomy. Exclusion criteria were patients with biphasic or onephase CT, poor imaging quality, patients under surveillance, radiofrequency ablation, or indeterminate pathology findings as oncocytic tumor variant. Results: Our results revealed a total number of 467 cases, including 195 masses of Clear RCC [CRCC], 81 masses of RO, 124 masses of Chromophobe RCC [ChRCC], and 67 masses proved to be papillary RCC [PRCC]. There is a significant difference between hypervascular [CRCC and RO] and hypovascular [ChRCC and PRCC] masses, and AUC= 0.95. The predictive model for differentiation between CRCC from RO showed AUC=0.79. At the same time, the discrimination of ChRCC from PRCC showed AUC= 0.94. Nomogram was developed for each phase of analysis. Conclusion: Using the largest sample to our knowledge, we developed a three-phase nomogram analytical approach to initiate a practical method to discriminate between different solid renal masses that can be used in daily clinical practice.
