Kidney fusion anomalies
The document discusses different types of tumors that can occur in the kidney. It begins by explaining that both benign and malignant tumors can arise in the kidney, with malignant tumors being more common. The tumors can originate from renal tubules, embryonic tissue, mesenchymal tissue, or the epithelium of the renal pelvis. The document goes on to classify kidney tumors as either benign or malignant, listing the most common types of each, which include cortical adenoma, oncocytoma, angiomyolipoma, and adenocarcinoma among others. It notes that adenocarcinoma and Wilm's tumor are the two most frequent primary malignant kidney tumors.
