Nephron. 1994;68(3):375-7. doi: 10.1159/000188403.

Abstract

We report on 2 cases of renal oncocytoma occurring in a liver transplant patient and in a kidney allograft recipient, respectively, during the posttransplant period. This neoplasm has never been reported in transplant patients; its relationship with long-term immunosuppressive therapy is questioned.
