Opponents of premanagement biopsy of small renal masses are not difficult to find. Many urologists contend that the benefits of biopsy do not outweigh the risks, arguing that the results do not influence management substantially and that the most useful information from renal mass biopsy can be attained with advanced imaging. In this article, we develop the counter arguments and demonstrate that renal mass biopsy should be implemented into the small renal mass management algorithm. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.
