What are the symptoms of renal hamartoma

Renal hamartoma is a common benign tumor of the kidney. Its typical symptoms include lumbar pain, hematuria and palpable masses in the abdomen, but most patients may not feel any obvious discomfort in the early stages. If the above symptoms occur or the tumor is large, you should seek medical attention for further examination in time to prevent complications.

The symptoms of renal hamartoma vary depending on the size and location of the tumor. Small tumors with no obvious symptoms in the early stages are often discovered accidentally through physical examinations or imaging studies, while larger tumors may cause dull pain in the side of the waist, hematuria, or a feeling of a mass in the abdomen. In severe cases, tumor rupture may cause acute abdominal pain and severe bleeding, and such situations require emergency treatment. Some patients may also experience hypertension or local dysfunction due to compression of blood vessels or nerves by the tumor. Confirmation is usually confirmed by B-ultrasound, CT, or MRI, and differential diagnosis requires exclusion of other kidney diseases or malignancies.

For the treatment of renal hamartoma, regular follow-up or active treatment is recommended. For tumors with a diameter less than 4 cm and no symptoms, regular B-ultrasound or CT follow-up is generally chosen; if the tumor is larger than 4 cm, symptoms appear or it grows rapidly, interventional treatments such as tumor embolization and minimally invasive surgery such as partial nephrectomy or radiofrequency ablation can be considered. Maintain good living habits, avoid trauma and strenuous activities, reduce high-salt and high-fat intake in the diet, and check regularly to ensure stable health. If abnormalities are found or symptoms worsen, go to the hospital immediately.
