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

And additional Immunohistochemistry examinations were done to confirm diagnosis. Renal oncocytomas were found incidentally in four patients during medical examination. No characteristic changes were found in laboratory tests. Radiology examination provided the location and possibility of renal oncocytoma. History, laboratory test and radiology exanimation indicated the diagnosis of renal oncocytoma, but the final identify of renal oncocytoma need pathology examination.展开更多
