Abstrakt:	Background: The detection of small renal masses has significantly increased due to the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging in recent years. Among these masses, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype and progresses quickly, resulting in the advancement of the disease and the development of metastases. In this prospective study, our goal is to assess the effectiveness of multiparametric MRI clear cell Likelihood Score in small solid renal masses and its utility in predicting tumor grade. Results: In total, 103 patients (mean age 52.5 ± 13.16 years) with small solid renal masses of stage T1a (≤ 4 cm) were identified. Mean tumor size was 3.4 ± 0.6 cm. According to our study results, the clear cell Likelihood Score (ccLS) had sensitivity of 75.6%, specificity of 93.5%, PPV of 88.6%, NPV of 85.3% and accuracy of 86.4% in diagnosing ccRCC using a ccLS threshold of 4 and 5. As regard the assessment of ccLS threshold of 1 or 2 in excluding ccRCC pathological subtype, our study found that out of 29 patients with ccLS 1 or 2, there was only 1 ccRCC case with false result (3% false positive). It was also noted that there is significant relation between Arterial-to-delayed-enhancement-ratio (ADER) value and the grade of the ccRCC. The median interquartile range (IQR) of ADER parameter was statistically significant higher in grade II compared to grade I (Median was 1.6 and 0.9 respectively) and much higher in grade III compared to grades I and II (Median was 2.9) with P value < 0.001. Conclusion: This ccLS showed promising efficacy in prediction and exclusion of ccRCC subtype. Moreover, it aids in predicting the ccRCC grade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
