Kidney mass

6 (approx) year MN old harrier hound off form, haematuria
Bloods hypoalbuminaemia, hyperglobulinaemia and neutrophilic leukocytosis
Large right kidney mass, it seemed to have flow on doppler
FNA cytology: neutrophilic inflammation (rare epithelial cells seen with normal morphology)
Do you think this is an abscess or sampling from a necrotic tumour?
In the second video there is a round hypoechoic structure caudal to the kidney, is this lymph node?
I presume the kidney would need to be removed regardless?

Looks very tumor-esque to me.

Looks very tumor-esque to me. i would CT for sx planning as the retroperitneal space is ill defined and then remove it. Carcinoma or sarcoma usually here
