Abstract :

Objective: To evaluate role of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous biopsy in diagnosis of different renal tumors either benign or malignant masses. Patients & Methods: 20 patients were included in this study, these patients were presented with renal tumor of indeterminate diagnoses according to the imaging modalities (US, CT or MRI), CT-guided percutaneous biopsy was performed to evaluate the nature of this renal tumor after pre and post contrast CT examination. Biopsy yield, complications and impact of patient�s management were analyzed. Results: The biopsy procedure was successful in all cases, the diagnostic capability of CT-guided percutaneous biopsy was (90%) with incidence of minor complications (5%). Non representative biopsy was demonstrated in 2 patients (10%) who underwent 2nd trial of biopsy. Conclusion: The CT guided percutaneous biopsy can help in accurate and specific diagnosis of renal tumors with subsequent impact on their clinical management.
