The patient’s left renal mass may be caused by conditions such as renal cysts or renal angiomyolipoma. If a left renal mass is detected, the patient should promptly undergo a CT scan at a reputable hospital. If the mass proves to be a tumor, timely surgical resection is essential to prevent disease progression. Following surgical treatment, the patient must undergo regular follow-up examinations at the hospital.
