title: Pulmonary oncocytoma: a rare case.
abstract: Oncocytomas are rare tumors with characteristic histological features of large eosinophilic cells with prominent nucleoli and small round nuclei. They commonly occur in the kidney and salivary glands. Their occurrence in the lungs is very rare; fewer than 6 cases being reported so far in the available world literature. We encountered one such case and present the details of the management and its outcome.
