Will’s Tumor

The tumor has taken over the

whole Renal’s parenchyma. The
original Renal Parenchyma
remains like a “coat”
surrounding the tumor.

Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma

Tumor arise out of Renal tubules. It grows outward on the external surface
and compresses the renal parenchyma. This results in a pseudocapsule. Cut-
surface shows numerous areas of necrosis. The tumor has a yellow aspect
due to adipose tissue. (The clear cells are due to deposition of glycogen and

mutation or other abnormality
caused such a malformation.

Chronic Gramulanephritis.

It is due to chronic ischemia. The kidney has atrophied, is irregular, and

shrunken. Its pale and external surface shows granulity. Cut surface shows a
diffuse architecture, which impairs the distinction between cortex and

ascending or descending. In this
case, it is descending.

Acute renal failure. The
glomerula are normal but the
tubules show tubulo-necrosis.
The color is pale and the
appearance of the kidney
becomes like “boiled meat”.

It can have a specific cause or a

non-specific. Specific causes
include Tuberculosis, Sarcoidosis
etc.

In this case the causative agent

Tuberculosis. The large
“abscess” is typical for
Tuberculosis infection(called a
Tuberculoma). There are diffuse
areas of caseous necrosis. The

shoe kidney.

The two kidneys are joined at

their inferior poles. The function
of the kidneys is preserved
though.

This one represents a circular

outgrowth rather then a diffuse,
which is the most common way
of growing.
