Abdom Imaging. 2009 Mar-Apr;34(2):261-4. doi: 10.1007/s00261-008-9375-9.

Abstract

Renal oncocytosis is a very rare entity. Although it has been described in pathology and surgery literature, the imaging findings of renal oncocytosis have not yet been described in the radiology literature. We present three cases of renal oncocytosis. The imaging features and clinical considerations are discussed.
