Abstract:
The authors report a case of oncocytoma arising in a transplanted kidney. The diagnostic and therapeutic management is discussed and compared to the limited data reported in the literature on this subject. Immunosuppression of renal transplant recipients does not appear to increase the incidence of graft tumours, but, in the authors' opinion, modifies the conservative attitude generally proposed for this type of tumour.
