ABSTRACT

Introduction: Kidney neoplasms are benign and malignant. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the worst urologic malignancy, accounting for 2% to 3% of adult malignant neoplasms. Adults develop RCC. More than 90% of RCC cases are clear cell, papillary, or chromophobe, and the male-to-female ratio of adult RCC is 2:1. Adult benign kidney neoplasms vary in histology and clinicobiology. Imaging shows most benign kidney tumours as solid enhancing masses, similar to RCCs. To evaluate the histological diagnosis of kidney tumours in adult Iraqi patients in connection to clinicopathological factors (Age, Gender, Associated clinical symptoms, Size, Side, Site, Gross discovery, Tumour histopathological subtypes, Grade, and pathological stage). Method: The Teaching Laboratory of Al-Imamain Al-Kadhimain Medical City, Pathology Departments of Ghazi Al-Harreri Surgical Specialties Hospital, and private laboratories collected 100 randomly selected kidney tumour patients from January 2019 to May 2022 for a retrospective study. Histopathological reports and slides were gathered and retrospectively analysed for each patient. Patient admission case sheets and pathology reports included clinical information such as age, gender, related clinical characteristics, size, side, location, gross discovery, tumour subtypes, grade, and stage. The data were statistically analysed using SPSS version 23 using CHI square test at 0.05 to determine association associations. Results: The study included a sample aged 18-80 years (mean 52.2 ± 12.2 SD), with a male to female ratio of 1.5:1. The majority of tumors were malignant (91%), with clear cell carcinoma as the most common type (66%). The tumor size ranged from 1.5-20.0 cm (mean 6.3 ± 3.3 SD), and most were
