title: [Kidney tumors: clinical and pathological findings and detection].
abstract: The detection and the clinical and pathological findings of kidney tumors have much progressed over the last 15 years. The incidence of asymptomatic renal masses has increased up to 30% during this time. This is mostly due to advances in ultrasound and computed tomography imaging. So, the therapeutic management of these masses has also been significantly changed. A better knowledge of their clinical and anatomical features allowed a more efficient mutlidisplinary approach and a better assessment of their prognosis.
