Explanation

"Enhancing right renal mass" is a term used in medicine to describe an abnormal growth or lump in the right kidney that becomes more visible when a special dye is used during imaging tests. This dye, or contrast, helps doctors see the mass more clearly. The term "enhancing" refers to the fact that the mass absorbs the dye, making it stand out against the surrounding tissue. This can help doctors determine the nature of the mass, such as whether it is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
