Renal oncocytoma in pregnancy: a case report.
Oncocytoma is an uncommon renal tumour and this is the first report of such a tumour occurring in a pregnant woman. Optimal treatment is nephrectomy and the prognosis is usually good, though metastasis has been reported. It is unknown whether pregnancy alters tumour behaviour or the prognosis.
