Abstract
More frequent utilization of cross-sectional imaging has led to an increase in the incidental diagnosis and a subsequent rise in incidence of small renal masses. Historical biases and technical limitations have prevented renal mass biopsy (RMB) from becoming a universal part of routine patient evaluation at the time of diagnosis of a renal mass. Nevertheless, more recently, RMB is being more commonly utilized and offers real-world utility in risk-stratifying patients and appropriately matching them with an optimal treatment strategy.
