Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: This study was undertaken to identify the age groups, gender distribution and different histopathological types of neoplastic lesions in nephrectomy specimens. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective record analysis done over a period of ten years (January 2006 to December 2015). All nephrectomy specimens with a diagnosis of renal tumor, received in the department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Kottayam, Kerala were recorded from histopathology registers and analyzed with regard to age, gender and histopathological types. Results: A total of 250 renal tumors were encountered. The patients’ age ranged from 2 months to 85 years. Males (66%) were affected more than females (34%) (M: F =1.94:1). Renal tumors were commoner in the 6thand 7th decades. Malignant tumors (90.4%) clearly outnumbered benign tumors (9.6%). Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was the commonest tumor (71.2%) followed by transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) (10%), oncocytoma (4.4%) and Wilms tumor (WT) (4%). Most common benign tumor was oncocytoma. Wilms tumor was the commonest pediatric tumor. Conclusions: This retrospective study showed distribution of renal tumors in nephrectomies performed at our institution. The results obtained were comparable with available data from other countries.
