What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain While Having Tumor On Kidney?

I have intermittent pain in the upper abdomen, right side. I am over 60, over weight, and have a diagnosed small tumour on the right kidney (non-malignant) Is this likely to be the cause? Could it be something else (eg would gall stones or kidney stones show like this?)

Hello

Upper abdominal pain may be due to tumour in right kidney.It is important to know present size of tumour.It is also important to seen any compression to surrounding structures,invasion etc.
CT scan of abdomen can be done for proper assessment.

Pain may also may be due to other causes like gall bladder,renal pathology etc.

You need clinical correlation and investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,urine RE/ME and ultrasound of abdomen.

Proper treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
