Oncocytoma with a vascular extension, associated with a papillary carcinoma: A case report.

This is a case report about a patient which presents with two right renal tumors, one of them being an oncocytoma with typical histopathological features and renal vein extension. Recent studies show that despite renal vein thrombus being a histological sign of malignancy; when associated with renal oncocytoma, it should not alter the benign prognosis of oncocytoma, and a simple follow-up may be carried. Further explorations should be done when easily available, and when the histopathologic diagnosis of oncocytoma is uncertain, to rule out the differential diagnosis of a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, oncocytic variant.
