Abstract: Introduction: The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic value and safety of CT-guided renal biopsy in patients with known primary malignancy associated with renal mass. Material and methods: We examined the clinical and radiological records of 19 patients between March 2011 and September 2012 who underwent renal biopsy at admission or during follow-up in the institution. We evaluated the imaging characteristics of the lesion before the procedure, the results of the biopsy and the presence of post-procedural morbidity. Results: Metastatic lesions were found in 7 patients; renal primary neoplasm in 11 patients and in one the diagnosis was not obtained. Of the patients reported as second primary renal, 54% were clear cell renal carcinoma, 18% chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, 9% oncocytic renal neoplasm and 9% transitional cell carcinoma, patients who were diagnosed with metastatic lesion, 28% were primary lung tumors, 28% secondary to lymphoma and head and neck tumors in 14%. No major complications were reported during or after the procedure. Conclusion: Renal biopsy is an accurate and safety techique with a low complication rate, which clearly differentiates a second primary metastatic renal to provide the most appropriate treatment.
