renal oncocytosis
Renal oncocytosis is a rare disorder in which numerous oncocytic nodules develop in the kidney.
Renal oncocytosis is a precursor lesion of renal oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma.
The renal cell neoplasms of oncocytosis seem to have distinct morphologic, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic profiles and likely are a distinct entity, not closely related to oncocytoma or chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. (#20305535#)
