A member asked:

Can a mass found on the kidney be a pheochromocytoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: If it's superior to the kidney (on top of it), it's often arisen in the adrenal gland and if it's making you sick, it may be a pheo. These curious little tumors won't actually arise within the kidney.
