Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Renal oncocytomas are benign kidney tumors, typically unilateral. Bilateral synchronous presentation is exceptionally rare.
  • Understanding the potential for multifocal growth is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • An 81-year-old female incidentally found to have bilateral synchronous renal oncocytoma.
  • Diagnosis confirmed via aspiration biopsy; patient declined surgical intervention.
  • Tumor size and invasion remained stable over 42 months of follow-up.

Findings:

  • This case adds to the limited literature, with only 20 reported instances of bilateral synchronous renal oncocytoma globally.
  • Multifocal lesions were present in only 6 of the reported bilateral cases, underscoring the rarity.

  • Renal oncocytoma can exhibit multifocal nodular oncocytic hyperplasia, similar to salivary gland lesions.

    • Implications:

    • Bilateral renal masses present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly without systemic or hereditary factors.
    • The non-aggressive behavior in this case suggests conservative management may be viable for select patients.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and behavior of multifocal renal oncocytomas is warranted.
