[Review of 45 cases of renal oncocytomas published in our country, and presentation of 2 new cases].

Abstract

A review is made on the characteristics presented by the 45 cases of renal oncocytomas published in the specialized literature in our country, which are compared to major publications on the subject in the international literature in which a recent review reports 200 cases. Also, two new cases are presented. These tumours are included within the 17 benign renal tumours accumulated in our centre (11.7%) accounting for 2.27% of all renal tumours diagnosed by our group. The renal oncocytoma opens a significant controversy with regard to its definitive identity and, therefore, with regard to its possible therapy whether radical or conservative.
