Judging from the name it would be a type of kidney tumor. Neph == kidney oma == tumor. That could cover a wide range of tumors though, there is probably a more specific name that would return more information. A quick looking about seems to indicate that Mesoblastic Nephoma seems to be the most commonly talked about nephoma but that appears to be almost exclusively something that appears in prenatal and newborns, so I'd guess that your uncle has some other sort of nephoma.
Wish I could provide more info.
