Multifocal and bilateral renal oncocytoma: a case report and review of the literature.
A 78-year-old man presenting with synchronous, multifocal and bilateral renal oncocytomas underwent a staged nephron-sparing surgery with removal of six lesions. At 14-month follow-up the renal function was preserved and no recurrent disease was evident. A literature review demonstrated 17 similar cases, treated either with watchful waiting or with complete surgical removal. Reasons to prefer the surgical option are herein substantiated.
