Common malignant kidney tumors

Common malignant kidney tumors include renal cancer and congenital mesodermal nephroma. The following is a brief introduction to them.

1. Congenital mesodermal nephroma

Also known as fetal hamartoma, it is the most common renal tumor in the first few weeks or months after birth, and occasionally seen after one year old. The most common clinical manifestation is the discovery of an abdominal mass during a newborn physical examination.

2. Kidney cancer

The average age of onset of renal cancer is 12 years old. It is the most common renal malignancy between the ages of 10 and 20. The main clinical manifestations are masses and hematuria. Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, fever and weight loss.

Other primary renal tumors include angiomyolipoma, teratoma, lymphangioma, lipoma, fibroma, ganglioneuroblastoma, liposarcoma, etc., which are rare, while tumors that metastasize to the kidneys are commonly leukemia or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The cause of kidney cancer is still unclear. Cancer prevention knowledge should be popularized, and the possible carcinogenic factors and early symptoms of kidney cancer should be publicized. If there is any suspicion, go to the hospital for examination in time for early detection and early treatment. Control smoking. Protective supervision should be carried out for lead workers and those exposed to radiation.
