A member asked:

I have a polyp on my kidney, what can it be?

Dr. Casey Ng answered

hmmmm...: It is unusual to describe anything on the kidney as polyps, unless they are located within the renal pelvis, on the urothelial lining. Without further clarification, it is difficult to say what it can be.
