Non-cancerous tumours of the kidney Papillary renal adenoma. Papillary renal adenoma is the most common type of non-cancerous kidney tumour. It starts in cells that line the tubules in the kidney.

Transitional Cell Cancer (Cancer of the Renal Pelvis and Ureter) Cancer that begins in the transitional cells is the most common type of cancer that develops in the renal pelvis and ureter. In some cases, transitional cell cancer metastasizes. Metastasis occurs when cancer from one organ or part of the body spreads to another organ or part of the body.

Kidney cancer Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the cells in the kidney. The two most common types of kidney cancer are renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and transitional cell carcinoma (TCC, also known as urothelial cell carcinoma) of the renal pelvis. These names reflect the type of cell from which the cancer developed.

Kidney Cancer Patients whose kidneys have failed or don't work well generally need dialysis or a kidney transplant. During dialysis, a machine takes on the job of filtering waste products from the blood. Kidney cancer occurs when abnormal kidney cells grow and divide uncontrollably. The cells invade and destroy the normal kidney tissue, and they can spread (metastasize) to other organs.

This is the fastest-growing and most aggressive type of kidney cancer cell. It may develop from any cell type, including clear cell, papillary, and chromophobe. It is called sarcomatoid because it looks like sarcoma under a microscope.
