Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Most types of benign kidney tumours have no known risk factors.Most people with a benign kidney tumour do not have any signs and symptoms. Problems only happen when appear once the tumour grows into surrounding tissues and organs.
Symptoms can be the following
blood in the urine (hematuria)
pain in the back and side of the abdomen (flank)
lump in the abdomen

Symptomatic tumors may require treatment. It is good to get CT scan done and then followed by ultrasound every 6 months or a year.
