Hi thanks for contacting HCM....
Here you have renal mass....
So your urine examination done....
If it shows malignant cell then from mass malignant cell might exfoliate in urine and diagnosis done....
But you have no malignant cells....
Squamous cells and urothelial cells are normal cells of urogenital tract .....
So no need for worry for that....
For ultimate final diagnosis I would suggest biopsy from that mass.....
Take care .....
