Benign kidney tumors, also known as renal adenomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in the kidney. They do not spread to other parts of the body like cancerous tumors, but they may cause complications and need to be monitored or treated.
The symptoms of benign kidney tumors are often not present, and the tumors are usually discovered during imaging tests done for other reasons.
The causes of benign kidney tumors are not fully understood, but they are believed to be related to aging, genetics, and hormonal imbalances. Treatment options for benign kidney tumors include monitoring, observation, and surgical removal, depending on the size and location of the tumor, as well as the patient’s overall health.
