Renal Tumors in Adult Saudi Patients: A Review of 43 Cases

Seventy-nine patients with renal tumors were seen at King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH) over a 10-year period from 1985 through November 1995. In a retrospective study, we analyzed the records of 43 Saudi patients from all over the Kingdom; they represented 54% of all patients encountered. Fourteen percent of the patients had benign renal tumors in the form of angiomyolipoma and oncocytoma. Eighty-six percent of the patients had malignant renal tumors.
