Our Observations: Case 1: there was a 44-year-old patient being followed up for a urinary tract infection due to Escherichia coli. The urological CT-scan showed a tumor-like process on a horseshoe kidney. Radical nephrectomy was performed and the histology report confirmed renal oncocytoma;Case 2: it involved a 62-year-old hypertensive patient. Clinical examination revealed a grade II cystocele and medical imaging showed a tumor-like mass at the lower pole of the right kidney. Radical nephrectomy was performed and histology was concluded in favor of renal oncocytoma;Case 3: there was a 64-year-old patient monitored for chronic renal failure and on dialysis for 6 months. Imaging showed a heterogeneous mass developing from the kidney. Histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed renal oncocytoma. Conclusion: Imaging could contribute greatly to preoperative diagnosis. However, there is a need to think about renal oncocytoma when evaluating kidney tissue masses.展开更多

The diagnosis of cystic nephroma is based on clinical signs, imaging tests, and anatomo-pathological study. In children, CNs can appear as a palpable abdominal mass in most of cases, hematuria or recurrent urinary infections. They are characterized by multycystic architecture and the exclusive presence of mature nephrogenic elements. Treatment is surgical with a very good prognosis in most of cases. We are going to report a case of a 13-month-old girl child diagnosed with Cystic nephromas who presented to pediatric emergency with unexplained crying episodes in order to increase clinicians awareness about this rare tumor.展开更多
