Renovascular disease is a progressive condition that causes narrowing or blockage of the arteries or veins that supply the kidneys. It's a general term used to describe three disorders: renal artery occlusion (blockage of the arteries supplying fresh blood), renal vein thrombosis (blockage of the veins carrying blood back to the heart), and renal atheroembolism (buildup of material blocking the smaller arteries within the kidneys).
Soft tissue tumors are cancerous or benign growths that develop in the patient's soft tissues like fat, muscle, nerves, fibrous tissues, blood vessels or deep skin tissue.

Solid tumors are lumps of sick cells stuck together. They may develop in many parts of the body including the brain, kidneys, liver and bones. These sick cells crowd out healthy cells and prevent normal function of the affected organ. Common types of solid tumor cancers include neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma and Wilms tumors.
Spine tumors may be primary (begin in the spine) or secondary (metastatic – i.e., tumors that spread to the spine from other locations). The most common cancers that move to the spine are breast, lung, renal and prostate. Most often cancer that moves to the spine is not fatal. However, it can cause pain and compress nerves.
