Abstract:
Mixed epithelial and stromal tumour of the kidney (MESTK), is a rare kidney tumour. About 100 cases so far have been reported in the literature. Although MESTK mostly presents in perimenopausal age group some rare cases in young females have been reported. We report a rare presentation of a 25 cm size giant MESTK arising from the left kidney in a young female in the absence of any clinically detectable hormonal abnormalities and successfully managed by nephron-sparing surgery.

Renal Tubule and Collecting Duct
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT):
The PCT is the initial segment of the renal tubule, extending from the Bowman's capsule that encloses the glomerulus. Its convoluted structure and microvilli-lined cells increase the surface area for reabsorption. The PCT reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, sodium, and water from the filtrate, ensuring essential...

Glomerulus: Structure and Function
The glomerulus is a tiny, intricate network of capillaries located at the beginning of the nephron. It's enveloped by the Bowman's capsule and receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole, which divides into numerous...
