ABSTRACT: Introduction: The gold of this work was to
study the clinical and therapeutic management aspects of renal oncocytoma in
our settings. Our Observations: Case 1: there was a 44-year-old patient being
followed up for a urinary tract infection due to Escherichia coli. The
urological CT-scan showed a tumor-like process on a horseshoe kidney. Radical
nephrectomy was performed and the histology report confirmed renal oncocytoma;
Case 2: it involved a 62-year-old hypertensive patient. Clinical examination
revealed a grade II cystocele and medical imaging showed a tumor-like mass at
the lower pole of the right kidney. Radical nephrectomy was performed and
histology was concluded in favor of renal oncocytoma; Case 3: there was a
64-year-old patient monitored for chronic renal failure and on dialysis for 6
months. Imaging showed a heterogeneous mass developing from the kidney.
Histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed renal oncocytoma. Conclusion:
Imaging could contribute greatly to preoperative diagnosis. However, there is a
need to think about renal oncocytoma when evaluating kidney tissue masses.
