Abstract

Objective: To describe a case of renal oncocytoma that was treated by conservative surgery.

Methods: Herein we describe a 55-year-old patient with a preoperative suspicion of left renal oncytoma based on the findings of punction-aspiration biopsy and CT. The patient underwent tumor resection.

Results/conclusions: Oncocytomas can present typical radiological features. Conservative surgery is a treatment option in carefully selected patients that usually achieves good results.
