Abstract
Oncocytosis is a term recently used to describe diffuse renal involvement b y numerous oncocytic nodules. We report herein a case of a 53-year-old man with end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis. His kidneys were invol ved by numerous tumors. Histologic examination revealed more than 100 oncoc ytomas and an associated papillary renal cell carcinoma in the right kidney .
