Currently, more than a third of renal tumours are discovered incidentally [1]. The mainstay of diagnosis for renal tumours is cross-sectional imaging, but a group of solid and complex cystic lesions ...
متن کاملPercutaneous needle biopsy for indeterminate renal masses: a national survey of UK consultant urologists
