Benign hypernephroma (ovarian neoplasia) is a malignant tumor of the kidney. There are primary hypernephroma, developing from the epithelium of the collecting ducts, and secondary, arising at the site of a benign tumor (for example, angiomyolipoma). History In the past, the term “kidney cancer” was used to refer to neoplasms of any structure, including nephroma, that are benign. However, the identification of vascular tumors of the kidneys has become basic with the advent of the technology of modern histological examination (especially light microscopy), which has significantly advanced the diagnosis and treatment of not only cancerous tumors, but also diseases of a fundamentally different morphological nature. Already in 1912, terms similar to those proposed by Bailey in 1894 (“renal angioma”, etc.) were widely used in the USA, although more ancient parallels appear in the works of M. S.
