Perinephric fat invasion (PFI) is a key component of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) staging, but there are limited data pertaining to biopsy tract seeding (BTS) resulting in perirenal tissue involvement [BTS with perinephric fat invasion (BTS‐P)].The aim is to correlate clinical outcomes with pathologic stage to determine whether the presence of BTS‐P should be considered a criterion to stage RCC as part of the pT3a category in the absence of any other upstaging variables.
