Renal neoplasia is a novel form of malignancy; the earliest confirmed case was reported
by Miriel in 1810 [
[1]
]. During the next 15 years, an additional 12 cases were documented [
[2]
]; in 1826, the first classification of renal tumors was proposed by König [
[3]
]. In this classification, tumors were divided on the basis of gross morphologic appearance
into fungoid, medullary, scirrhous, and steatomatous types.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
