Clinics in diagnostic imaging (36). Benign renal oncocytoma.
A 50-year-old Indian man presented with non-specific right-sided abdominal pain. Ultrasound of the abdomen demonstrated a small right renal tumour. Computed tomography showed features suggestive of a benign renal oncocytoma. This was confirmed by frozen section during surgical exploration. A partial nephrectomy was carried out. The role and limitations of imaging in the management of solid renal masses is discussed.
