Benign:
Cortical adenoma, originates from tubules.
Malignant:
Adenocarcinoma, aka, Renal cell Carcinoma, aka, clear cell carcinoma (helpful, b/c when you see clear cell metastasis to a distant organ, you know tumor originates from kidney). This is the most common tumor of the kidney. Note it originates from the tubules, hence “adenocarcinoma”. Differentiate this from #3 below, transitional cell carcinoma of renal pelvis, which arises from epithelial cells.
Wilms tumor, aka Nephroblastoma. This is a common renal tumor in children.
