Proximal renal tubular adenomas with oncocytic features, also known as renal oncocytomas, are rare, probably benign, tumors of the kidney. They are easily misdiagnosed as carcinomas. However, radiological, histological and ultrastructural characteristics allow their differentiation from adenomas and adenocarcinomas. We report 4 cases of renal oncocytomas and review the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
