SAN DIEGO, CA USA (UroToday.com) - Urologic literature contends that up to 20% of oncocytomas coexist as hybrid tumors with adjacent malignant pathology.
This claim deters renal biopsy and, when benign histology is found, undermines its validity. Nevertheless, incidence of hybrid pathology in a solitary sporadic solid benign renal mass is yet to be fully defined. We examined rates of coexisting malignant and high-grade pathology in resected tumors that contained elements of oncocytoma, angiomyolipoma (AML) or other benign renal histology.
