Selective renal biopsy for renal tumor was performed in 10 cases in our clinic during the last 4 years. These cases were difficult to diagnose by the conventional procedures such as CT scan, sonography and renal angiography. Selective renal biopsy using interventional ultrasound revealed 6 cases of renal cell carcinomas, one case of papillary renal cell carcinoma, one case of transitional cell carcinoma, one case of angiomyolipoma and one case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, providing important informations for the treatment. Neither needle tract seeding nor complication was caused by biopsy in the series.
