Objective.
We evaluated histological outcome of intraoperative biopsies at laparoscopic renal mass cryoablation (LCA), prevalence of peritumoral fat tissue invasion, and risk of tract seeding.
Methods.
Patients were biopsied 3–5 times (16-gauge).
Histology was analyzed by general pathologists and reviewed.
Peritumoral fat was histologically examined.
The trocar used for biopsy-guidance was examined by cytology.
Records were studied for reporting tract metastasis.
Results.
77 biopsied renal masses with mean ± SD diameter 30±7.4 mm were histologically classified by primary and review pathology revealing 64 and 62 malignancies, 13 and 15 benign lesions, respectively.
In 30/34, the fat covered a carcinoma but revealed no malignancy.
Cytology showed no malignant cells but was inconclusive in 1 case.
No tract metastasis occurred.
Conclusions.
The use of an intraoperative biopsy protocol provides histological diagnosis of all renal masses.
No existence of peritumoral fat tissue invasion or tract seeding was found.
