Renal oncocytomas are rare benign kidney tumors. This case highlights diffuse bilateral oncocytomas, a rare condition termed "oncocytomatosis," presenting as enlarged kidneys.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Renal oncocytoma is a rare, benign kidney tumor with unknown causes.
  • Bilateral, multicentric, and diffuse presentations are exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with incidentally discovered, significantly enlarged kidneys on both sides.
  • Imaging revealed innumerable renal oncocytomas throughout both kidneys.

Findings:

  • The patient's condition represents a rare instance of diffuse renal oncocytomas, fitting the definition of "oncocytomatosis."
  • This diagnosis requires oncocytomas to diffusely infiltrate the renal parenchyma.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of the spectrum of renal oncocytoma presentation.
