Multiple, Bilateral Renal Oncocytomas: An Uncommon Condition Managed with Percutaneous Cryoablation
Financial support and sponsorship Nil.
Multiple, bilateral renal oncocytomas are uncommon, and the management of this condition is poorly described. Here, we report a case of multiple, bilateral, biopsy-proven renal oncocytomas that were successfully managed using percutaneous cryoablation. This procedure may serve as a less invasive treatment for patients with multiple, bilateral renal oncocytomas when compared to radical or partial nephrectomy.
