Résumé

Percutaneous renal biopsy has become increasingly utilized particularly in patients undergoing active surveillance for small renal masses. We present a case of a significant complication following biopsy of a solid renal mass in a patient who was recently diagnosed with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was planned for nephron sparing surgery that was converted to radical nephrectomy due to extensive renal infarction secondary to significant subcapsular hemorrhage inflicted by the biopsy.
