Bilateral renal oncocytomas: a case report.

H A Hunt, C F Tudball, R C Sutherland

    The Journal of Urology
    |June 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    This unique case study details a man with bilateral multiple renal oncocytomas, presenting with loin pain and hematuria. Conservative management was necessary due to impaired renal function, offering insights into the natural history of this rare condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Renal oncocytomas are benign kidney tumors, typically solitary and unilateral.
    • Multiple and bilateral renal oncocytomas are exceptionally rare, posing diagnostic and management challenges.

    Observation:

    • A male patient presented with enlarged kidneys, loin pain, and gross hematuria.
    • Renal angiography suggested multiple renal oncocytomas due to characteristic tumor vascularity.
    • Histology of an open renal biopsy confirmed bilateral multiple renal oncocytomas.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited impaired renal function, necessitating conservative management.
    • This case is unique due to the bilateral and multiple nature of the renal oncocytomas.
    • The established histological diagnosis allows for observation of the disease's natural history.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering rare presentations of renal oncocytomas.
    • Conservative management in this patient allows for valuable insights into the natural progression of bilateral multiple renal oncocytomas.
    • Further observation may inform future treatment strategies for similar rare cases.
