Fine-Needle Percutaneous Biopsy of Renal Masses with Helical CT Guidance

Abstract

Fine-needle biopsy with helical CT guidance is accurate for the histopathologic evaluation of renal masses without morbidity. Indications are renal lesions that do not have the typical radiologic features of RCC, Bosniak category III or IV cystic lesions, and locally advanced or metastatic RCC.
