We report an unusual case of a renal tumor that showed the classic fea
tures of oncocytoma but was wholly encapsulated in a shell of oblitera
tive fibrosis with histologic features identical to those of retroperi
toneal fibrosis. Although localized Corms of retroperitoneal fibrosis
are not uncommonly reported in cases of invasive or metastatic disease
, to our knowledge this represents the first report of this process in
association with a truly benign tumor of renal epithelial origin.
