On careful inspection, the perirenal fat shows no localized nodularity or other identifiable pathology.  No adrenal gland is grossly identified. 

Histopathological diagnosis: Multilocular cystic renal neoplasm of low malignant potential (previously known as multilocular clear cell renal cell carcinoma). Fuhrman nuclear grade: Grade 1.
