Abstract
Renal oncocytosis is a very rare oncologically indolent form of renal neoplasia characterized by diffuse involvement of renal parenchyma by numerous oncocytic nodules. We describe contrast-enhanced CT and 99m Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT findings in a patient with renal oncocytosis presenting with metachronous bilateral renal tumors. Contrast-enhanced CT showed numerous tumors ranging from several millimeters up to 3.9 cm in the left kidney. The tumors showed hypervascularity in the corticomedullary phase and washout in the excretory phase mimicking renal cell carcinoma. The larger tumors showed higher 99m Tc-MIBI uptake than the adjacent renal parenchyma, suggesting renal oncocytoma confirmed by biopsy.
