Kenegs tumor is a rare malignant tumor characterized by high morbidity and mortality. It is named after the urologist Kanufe Kenegs, who first described this pathology in the 1930s. The tumor often affects the kidneys and bladder, but can also develop in other organs.
Symptoms of Koenens' tumor include pain in the lower back, abdomen, or side, often with blood in the urine. Other symptoms may include weakness, weight loss and fever. Koenens tumors may be discovered incidentally during a medical examination or appear suddenly after a period of good health.
When diagnosing a Kenegau tumor, doctors typically use a number of imaging tests, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to determine the size, location, and extent of the tumor. Treatment of the tumor can be surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, depending on the stage of the disease.
