[Renal oncocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis: report of a case].
A case of a renal oncocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis in a 31-year-old woman is reported. She displayed many characteristic skin features of tuberous sclerosis but no central nervous symptoms. Although she complained of dysmenorrhea and hypermenorrhea, she had no complaints related to the kidney. A left renal tumor was discovered incidentally during preoperative examination for gynecologic disease and left nephrectomy was performed. Histologically, the tumor was shown to be a typical renal oncocytoma. This is supposed to be the first case of renal oncocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis in Japan.
