description Renal biopsy is an important diagnostic test which is used to extract kidney tissue with the help of a biopsy needle. It is frequently performed under ultrasonography or CT guidance. As with every other procedure, renal biopsy also carries some risks. Common complications of renal biopsy are damage to adjacent organs. Hemothorax is an exceedingly rare complication of renal biopsy. We report a case of a middle-aged female who developed a left-sided hemothorax after undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy with ablation and conducted a literature review of this rare complication.
