title: Renal oncocytoma: report of a case with bilateral multifocal oncocytomas.
abstract: Renal oncocytomas are uncommon, benign tumors that classically are treated by local excision or heminephrectomy. Preoperative differentiation from renal cell carcinoma is invaluable in the planning of treatment. Cases of renal oncocytoma treated conservatively have been reported. This is a case report of bilateral multifocal renal oncocytomas of which only three previous cases have been reported. Diagnosis was made from multiple fine needle biopsies and present treatment consists only of conservative observation.
