Metachronous renal oncocytomatosis

Urol Int. 2003;70(3):241-3. doi: 10.1159/000068760.

Abstract

A renal oncocytoma is a benign and usually solitary lesion. We present a new case of diffuse oncocytomatosis in one kidney after previous contralateral surgery for an isolated oncocytoma. This very unusual situation must be kept in mind in cases of multifocal oncocytomas, as a recurrence will generally occur after partial surgery.
