Cancer of the kidney. Coloured MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan of the abdomen showing a large malignant tumour (yellow,right) on a kidney. The scan shows a vertical "slice" through the patient's abdomen. The pelvic area is at the bottom and parts of the arms appear in the upper left and right. The kidneys are the small,round yellow structures at left and right of centre. Between them are the spinal vertebrae. Cancer of the kidney is a rare disease. Most cases are caused by renal cell carcinoma,which is usually fatal as the tumour has often spread to other parts of the body by the time symptoms appear | |
