Description
Kidney tumour. Gross specimen of a sectioned kidney with a tumour (left). This is an adenoma, a benign (non-cancerous) tumour that arises from the lining (epithelium) of a glandular tissue. It is a slow-growing tumour and is asymptomatic unless it becomes big enough to interfere with the functioning of the kidney. Treatment is with surgical removal of the tumour or in some cases, the whole kidney.
