Abstract
The value of a fine needle aspiration biopsy for confirmation of malignancy is demonstrated in 3 cases of angiographically hypovascular renal tumors. In 2 cases ultrasound examination suggested solid lesions but in 1 case it was predominantly sonolucent. Reliable documentation in the literature indicates that the risk of spreading tumor cells and decreasing the survival rate is negligible.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
