Resolution: standard / high Figure 1.
A. Characteristic gross appearance of renal oncocytoma - well circumscribed, mahogany
brown tumor with a central scar. Histology: B. Typical oncocytoma composed of nests and acini of polygonal to round
oncocytes with abundant densely granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and round nuclei embedded
in loose myxoid or hyalinized stroma surrounded by a delicate reticulin framework
(classic organoid pattern). C. Closely packed cystically dilated tubules seen in the
tubulocystic pattern. D. Mixed pattern. E. Solid pattern with compactly arranged nests
or sheets of oncocytes posed the biggest diagnostic challenge, especially in cases
with its predominance. F. Typical oncocytes with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm
and round nuclei with smooth contours and small nucleoli.
