Results: Out of 85 neoplastic lesions, renal cell carcinoma was the most common lesion diagnosed in 68 (80%) specimens, followed by Wilms tumor in 9(10.58%) specimens, followed by metanephric adenoma in 3(3.52%) and squamous cell carcinoma in 2(2.35%) while angiomyolipoma, multicystic nephroma and renal sarcoma were diagnosed in 1 (1.17%) specimen each.
