Overview

A needle biopsy should always be performed when the finding of a renal mass is detected on imaging.

Needle Biopsy

Needle biopsy should always be performed when the finding of a renal mass is detected on imaging. CT or MRI guided needle biopsy distinguishes between different subgroups of renal cell carcinoma and identifies management: active surveillance, surgery, or medical therapy.[1] The sensitivity and specificity of needle biopsy are very high. The rate of biopsy-related complications, including biopsy-associated seeding, is considered very low.[1]

Histopathological Findings in Renal Cell Carcinoma[2][3]
Type Characteristic Features
Conventional (Clear Cell) *Nests of tumor cells that are compacted near each other
*Clear cytoplasm
*Delicate vasculature that separates the cytoplasm
*Varying architectural patterns, such as solid, alveolar, or acinar
Papillary *Papillae, tubulopapillae, and tubules that are present in differing percentages
*Type I generally has papillae lined with only 1 layer of cancer cells, pale cytoplasm, and small oval nuclei
*Type II generally are more heterogeneous tumors that have pseudostratification with large, spherical nuclei and distinct nucleoli
Chromophobe *Large polygonal cells
*Finely reticulated cytoplasm that may be eosinophilic
*Distinct cell borders
*Atypical nuclei with perinuclear halo
