The frequency of detection of renal masses has increased over recent decades, causing a
concurrent increase in early intervention by surgery. Growing recognition that this approach …

Cytological specimens, which are obtained by minimally invasive methods, are an excellent
source of diagnostic material. Sometimes they are the only material available for diagnosis …

Background The incidence of renal tumors has steadily increased over the past decade. In
this study, the authors performed a systematic review and analysis of the literature on renal …

The risks of malignancy for cytologic categories in renal biopsy specimens differ from the
risks in most other sites. There are obvious areas in which cytopathologists can do better at …

Background: The role of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of renal
malignancies is established and has been getting more precise and important over a period …

Background Fine needle aspiration (FNA) and/or needle core biopsy (NCB) are increasingly

The incidental detection of renal masses continues to increase due to the expanded use of
imaging studies. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) and core biopsies can aid in the management …

The number of incidentally detectable renal masses, particularly lesions less than 4 cm, has
increased dramatically due to the liberal use of new and improved imaging studies. The …

Syringes or syringe-like devices have been used to aspirate collections of fluids since as
