Abstract
Only 16 cases of bilateral renal oncocytomas have been previously reported in the English language literature, 9 of which were treated with bilateral surgical resections. We report a case treated with bilateral partial nephrectomy. Although pathological examination revealed grade I oncocytomas on both sides, flow cytometry demonstrated tumor DNA content to be aneuploid on one side and diploid on the other, the first cellular differences reported in a case of bilateral renal oncocytomas. The management of suspected renal oncocytomas is discussed, with emphasis on the need for complete excision in most patients. The results of nuclear studies of these tumors, including DNA flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular analysis of both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, are reviewed.

Renal oncocytomas are uncommon tumors of the kidney that are considered to be of low malignant potential. Neither conventional cytogenetic nor restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses have identified consistent genetic alterations in their genomic DNA. The purpose of the present study was t
We report here on a patient with bilateral multifocal renal oncocytomas and cysts. Cytogenetic analysis of the patient's lymphocytes revealed a constitutional 46,XY,add (9)(q34.3) karyotype. The rearrangement was further resolved as a constitutional reciprocal t(8;9)(q24.1;q34.3) by microdissection
