ABSTRACT

Renal oncocytoma is an uncommon, generally benign tumor of the renal parenchyma arising from tubular cells with typical gross, microscopic and ultrastructural features. We report another case of renal oncocytoma that had been treated conservatively on the basis of the pre- and intraoperative findings. The present case provides further insight into the biological behaviour of this tumor type. Its origin, pathological features, diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties, and prognosis are discussed.
