Abstract
Oncocytoma is an uncommon benign, typically solitary renal tumor first reported in
1942. Renal oncocytomas are rarely multiple and/or bilateral. Accurate preoperative
diagnosis and differentiation from renal carcinoma is difficult. We report the radiology
and pathology of a patient with bilateral renal oncocytomas and review the literature
of this rare presentation.
