📋Overview
This malignancy typically begins in the proximal convoluted tubules, which are the microscopic tubes that filter blood and produce urine. As the tumor develops, it may invade surrounding renal structures or metastasize to other areas of the body.
Clinical practice identifies this condition as the primary form of renal adenocarcinoma, replacing older terminology such as hypernephroma. The disease is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells that can eventually impair kidney function and affect systemic health.
