Renal medullary carcinoma is a rare type of cancer that affects the kidney.It tends to be aggressive, difficult to treat, and is often metastatic at the time of diagnosis. . Most individuals with this type of cancer have sickle cell trait or rarely sickle cell disease, suggesting that the sickle cell trait may be a risk factor for this type of ca
Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, is a group of cancers that starts in the kidney. [4] Symptoms may include blood in the urine, a lump in the abdomen, or back pain. [1] [2] [3] Fever, weight loss, and tiredness may also occur. [1] [2] [3] Complications can include spread to the lungs or brain. [6]
Like other cancers, kidney cancer is measured in stages. •Stage 1, the tumour has not spread and is localized. This accounts for 65% of cases of kidney cancer and 92.5% of people with stage 1 kidney cancer survive 5 years. •Stage 2 and 3, the tumour has grown larger and has spread and started to affect regional tissues and lymph nodes.
Medullary carcinoma may refer to one of several different tumors of epithelial origin. As the term "medulla" is a generic anatomic descriptor for the mid-layer of various organ tissues, a medullary tumor usually arises from the "mid-layer tissues" of the relevant organ. Medullary carcinoma most commonly refers to: Medullary thyroid cancer
The prognosis of nephrocalcinosis is determined by the underlying cause. Most cases of nephrocalcinosis do not progress to end stage renal disease, however if not treated it can lead to renal dysfunction this includes primary hyperoxaluria, hypomagnesemic hypercalciuric nephrocalcinosis and Dent's disease.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a kidney cancer that originates in the lining of the proximal convoluted tubule, a part of the very small tubes in the kidney that transport primary urine. RCC is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults, responsible for approximately 90–95% of cases. [1]
Histopathologic types of kidney tumor, with relative incidences and prognoses. Cystic nephroma is seen at bottom right in pie chart. cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma; cystic standard nephroblastoma (cystic Wilm's tumor) cystic mesoblastic nephroma; cystic renal cell carcinoma; other renal cysts
Affected individuals have small kidneys with several cysts and their risk of renal cell carcinoma is 30 times higher than people without ACKD. Bloody urine and flank pain in a person with end-stage kidney disease raise suspicion for ACKD-associated renal cell carcinoma. Although people with ACKD have a substantially higher risk of renal cell ...
