Abstract

Introduction: Simple and Radical nephrectomies are done for benign and malignant lesions of kidney respectively. This study was conducted to find out the Histopathological spectrum of diseases that were encounteredin these received nephrectomy specimens and compare it with other studies over a period of 2 years in department of pathology, GMC Jammu retrospectively.

Result: A total of 70 nephrectomy specimens were received. Male constituted 40 cases (57%) and females 30 cases (43%). Age range of cases was from 3 year to 70 year. The highest percentage of patient belonged to age group 41-50 years. Non Neoplastic  (62 cases) were most common followed by malignant cases and the least common were benign tumours. Chronic pyelonephritis (30cases) was the most common inflammatory condition for which nephrectomy was done.Among the malignant tumour clear cell renal carcinoma (3 cases) was the most frequent. Most common clinical symptom was flank pain.

Conclusion: Non neoplastic lesions were more common than neoplastic lesion. Chronic pyelonephritis was the most common histopathological diagnosis. Renal cell carcinoma was most common among the malignant tumours.
