title: [Conceptual review of oncocytic lesions].
abstract: Updating of a series of entities which significance is not always pathological, or it is poorly known, and which are related to oxyphilic transformation of epithelial cells. Review of concepts such as "oncocytosis", "oncocytic hyperplasia" and "oncocytoma", establishing a hypothetical continuum of damage which could actually be contemplated within the evolution spectrum of hyperplasia-adenoma-carcinoma. Also, both the changes occurring at subcellular level and the hypothesis considered to explain them are commented.
