Good Day and Thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
By growth do you mean tumor or a kidney mass?
Generally any solid enhancing growth in the kidney is considered malignant or cancerous unless proven otherwise. I would suggest removing the kidney mass depending on the size of the growth if a partial nephrectomy can still be done or if it is more than 6 cm the growth can be removed together with the kidney.
Thank You.
