Tumor Seeding after Renal Mass Biopsy: is it Something to Worry About? A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Fine needle aspiration and renal biopsy are crucial steps in the diagnostic process for incidental renal masses. In the last decades, the utilization of renal biopsy has significantly increased, accompanied by growing concerns about the safety of the procedure. Here, we report a case of tumor seeding after percutaneous renal mass biopsy in a 67-year-old man, and we provide a review of the literature on the subject.
