[Oncocytoma of the kidney: a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma].
Renal oncocytic tumours are uncommon and controversial in both their diagnosis and therapy. The need for correct cytological diagnosis is emphasised and total nephrectomy proposed as the elective surgical treatment owing to the real possibility of malignancy and multicentric diffusion. Conservative management should be reserved for bilateral tumours or where the tumour occurs in a solitary kidney.
