That's because these tumors often don't cause symptoms. Here's the story of a woman who had a kidney tumor the size of a football and didn't even know it.

The kidneys are the two bean-shaped organs. Each one of them is about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Our kidneys are responsible for filtering the blood from waste products, drugs and toxins and forming the urine. Healthy kidneys filter about a half cup of blood every minute removing waste and extra water.
