Definition

A renal tumor with variable morphological patterns arising exclusively in end-stage kidneys with acquired cystic disease.

Clinical Features

  • Incidence

    These tumors occur most often, but not always, in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis with acquired cystic disease and are usually incidental finding detected during their follow-up. Often they are multiple and bilateral. It represents roughly one third of all renal cell neoplasms arising in end-stage renal disease.

  • Age

    It frequently occurs in patients receiving hemodialysis of more than 10 years

  • Sex

    There is no gender predilection.

  • Site

    There is no site predilection.

  • Treatment

    Surgical treatment is recommended.

  • Outcome

    Because of early detection of tumors in patients on periodical follow-up imaging analyses for chronic renal failure, the clinical behavior is usually indolent.

Macroscopy

The tumor is well circumscribed and tan to yellow in color with occasional hemorrhage or necrosis occurring in a background of multiple...
