Objective Our aim was to evaluate the performance of fine needle aspiration (FNA) as a method for obtaining cellular material for the tissue diagnosis of small solid renal tumours. Methods Fifty‐five patients with a small solid renal tumour (4 cm or smaller) underwent a FNA biopsy under computed tom...
