Abstract :

Renal tumors, both benign and malignant exhibit as a wide, diverse spectrum of neoplastic lesions both in adults and in children. Renal cell carcinoma is the commonest malignancy in adults accounting for 65–70% of all renal tumors and 2% of all cancers. This study was conducted in eleven adult patients with renal tumors managed surgically by nephrectomies received in the department of pathology, K J Somaiya medical college, from the year 2011–2017. The aim was to determine the demographical and histopathological features in adult renal tumors. Conclusion: Histomorphological spectrum of adult renal tumors in our study is similar to the previously reported literature. Malignant tumors (80%) outnumber the benign tumors (20%). Clear cell carcinoma, a subtype of renal cell carcinoma is the commonest tumor in adult and it tends to be diagnosed at an advanced stage
