My Mum has had ultrasound and been told ghoul stones but has also been rushed for blood test to see if she well enough for ct scan as they found tissue on kidneys and a mass?? Do you feel it could be cancer?She had ovarian cancer 30 years ago and they one ovary in which causes her pain?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. If there is a suspected mass in the kidney then it should be evaluated in detail. Most of the asymptomatic kidney masses are benign, but rarely a malignant mass in the kidney might not cause any symptoms. The complete detail of the kidney mass is important to tell if there is a possibility of a cancer. If your mother had cancer ovaries 30 years back then it is less likely to be from the same cancer, but a new cancer cannot be ruled out. This is an extremely rare occurrence. It is suggested that your mother consults doctors in a cancer hospital and gets a guided biopsy done from the renal mass. The treatment depends on the pathological report and size of the mass. If it is a well-defined mass then surgery is highly successful. Please do not worry.
