title: [Renal oncocytosis: case report].
abstract: Renal oncocytoma represent 5% of kidney tumors. Oncocytoma is a benign tumor, usually asymptomatic and fortuitous discovery. Standard treatment is tumorectomy when technically feasible. Surgery is indicated when oncocytoma becomes symptomatic, large or grows quickly. In a small proportion of cases, oncocytomas are bilateral and/or multifocal. These forms are most often sporadic or are integrated in the Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome. We report here the case of a patient suffering from renal oncocytosis responsible for a diffuse renal involvement by numerous oncocytic nodules.
