Take some other person who is not as emotionally involved and ask the physican your questions.  If you don't get good answers, you need a second opinion from another physician.  If there is a medical school near, start there.  But do not wait-- good luck

Take a look at the websites below for more information. I can decode some of that for you. I can't tell you how serious it is...you need to find a doctor who will talk to you and explain things. \n\nLeiomyosarcoma is a rare cancer that affects smooth muscles. Low to intermediate grade is not as bad as advanced, so that part sounds positive. Focal necrosis means there is a part of the tissue sample that shows cells that are dying. I can't tell you what that means in the overall picture. The mitotic count is a measure of how many cells in the sample are dividing. HPF means high power field. I'm taking this to mean that when they looked under a high power microscope, 2-3 out of 10 cells were dividing. I can't give you a reference number for what is normal, but in general, more cells dividing would indicate the tumor is growing faster than a low number. \n\nImmunohistochemistry means staining the cells in the sample with markers to see what kind of cells they are. CD34 is a marker for undifferentiated cells. S-100 is another marker, but I can't tell you exactly what it indicates. The presence or absence of markers can mean either good or bad news, but I don't know exactly how these are used here and I don't want to guess.\n\nThat doesn't really answer your questions, because you really need a doctor who knows this case to tell you what to expect. I hope that makes it a little less mysterious, but I'm afraid it's not much help. It makes me sad to think that someone would just hand you this report and not give you some help in understanding what is going on. Sometimes hospitals have a social worker who is there to translate the medical jargon into things you really want and need to know. Ask if there is someone like this. I hope it's a good outcome. Good luck.

To answer this question, you will need to consult with your doctor.  A radiologist will have to review the CT scan with you doctor in order to determine the significance of the irregular density in the lower poles of your kidneys. You may require an additional CT scan with contrast or and MRI with contrast to determine what these densities are.\n\nA 'renal scan' will not be helpful in this case.  This is a 'functional' test and measures the ability of the kidneys to excrete (pass) a nuclear 'dye'.  It can be used to compare function between your kidney and is often used as a test to help determine a condition where there is decreased blood flow to one of the kidneys (a condition called renal artery stenosis).\n\nIt is important to make sure that these densities are a normal variant and not something that you have to worry about (for example kidney cancer).  Given that they are in the same location and on both sides I would think that this is highly unlikely, but this is always important to determine.  Suggested further testing, if needed, is usually part of a CT report, but I would make sure that these densities are benign.\n\nUnfortunately, you are complaining of pain.  Irregular densities, solitary cysts, and even cancers rarely cause pain.  Medical testing is designed to eliminate (rule out) causes of diseases that are harmful and usually does a good job of this.  However, the absence of any findings on the CT  to explain the pain you are experiencing does not mean that the cause of the pain can't be determined or that the pain can't be treated.  There are many causes of back pain/kidney pain that are not picked up by a CT.\n\nPlease follow up with your doctor and make sure he or she is answering your questions.  Best of luck.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and i can tell you that you DO have stones. Pain in the back is a common sign and so is blood in the urine. Stop worrying you don't have cancer. They can either dissolve them by sound waves or by tablets and they may remove them by an op(but they don't like to do this unless is becomes life threatening) You will get terrible pain if they try to leave the kidneys, so be prepared.If this happens get to the E R.\n\nGloria(BSYA)\ngloriashealth@btinternet.com

Age could be a factor, as well as current medical conditions, medications, where the tumor was, and scheduling a surgery,\nthe possibilities are endless

it goes threw the kidneys and all that lovely filering happens then it goes down a little tube that connects the kidney to the bladder\ngood picture here\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/bladder_cancer/article.htm\nignore the fact that the site is about bladder cancer and look at the picture near the top of the page :)

Based on the term alone, I would say it is a tumor (not necessarily cancerous), or some other growth on both adrenal glands.  Bilateral = both sides, adrenal = glands on top of kidneys.  If it is appearing on BOTH kidneys, it seems paradoxical to what you would typically see in cancer.  I'm curious to know for certain what it is, though.

The gowth rate is concerning. I'm taking for granted he has had either a needle or open biopsy of the nodule. If not he should have one to determine what exactly it is you are dealing with. Speed is of the essence here! Has he had any other exams, such as CT or MRI of the abdomen and pelvis or brain? Once the biopsy is returned those exams may be ordered, don't be suprised if they are! If he has had the biopsy, and it is malignant, ask what options there are for treatment, chemo and radiation or just chemo or just radiation, and if there is metastasis to any other areas?
