regions of the cell (Fig. 2). In CRCC, a correlation
has been found between positive Hale’s colloidal
iron staining and the presence of cytoplasmic microvesicles.3 The pattern of Hale’s colloidal iron
staining seen in oncocytomas also parallels the microvesicular
distribution.
Despite the well-characterized cytologic features
of renal oncocytomas and the obvious benefits of
the preoperative diagnosis of a benign tumor, the
role of tumor biopsy for definitive diagnosis has
been studied only retrospectively on samples taken
from surgical specimens21,22 and remains questionable.
Moreover, the overall sensitivity of renal biopsy
ranges from 40% to 90%,23–25 and many tumors
that are read as “nondiagnostic” on biopsy
are often found to be malignant after complete surgical
extirpation and thorough histologic examination.
24,25 Until the techniques and interpretations
of biopsies become more consistent, its utility for
the preoperative diagnosis of renal oncocytomas
will remain limited.
 
The “oncocyte” is the basic component of large oncocytoma.
It is a large, round, or polygonal neoplastic cell with
a granular eosinophilic cytoplasm. Oncocytic tumors were
reported outside the kidney in the thyroid, parathyroid,
salivary glands, and other tissues. With electron microscopy,
it was demonstrated that oncocytes are abundant with
mitochondria, which gives them the characteristic staining
features. Oncocytomas are arranged in nested or organoid
growth pattern [12]. Microscopic features of oncocytomas
may include cellular atypia, prominent nucleoli, and pleomorphism.
These are clearly manifestations of malignancy.
However, oncocytomas with these features maintain benign
behavior. Within the oncocytoma tumor it is possible to find
a small population of cells that exhibit cytoplasmic clearing.
This cytoplasmic clearing may also coexist in chromophobe
type RCC [6].
 
Histopathological examination carried out for hematoxylin
and eosin (HE) stained sections of tumor tissue is the first
and the most important step in the diagnostic approach to
epithelial renal neoplasms. It gives the information about
cellular, nuclear, cytoplasmic, stromal and vascular network
features as well as about growth pattern.
Renal oncocytomas are histopatologically characterized
by “oncocytes”, which by definition are large neoplastic
cells with intensely eosinophilic granular cytoplasm that
results from the large number of mitochondria. This term
was coined by Hamperl from Greek “onkousthai” and
“cyte”, to swell and cell or swelling cytoplasm.20 Oncocytomas
are found in a number of organs and have been
described previously in the thyroid gland, salivary gland,
parathyroid gland, adrenal gland and other anatomical
sites.8 The exact cell type that gives rise to an oncocytoma in
the kidney or other organs is unknown. Most pathologists
suggest a distal tubular origin for renal oncocytomas,21,22
although a proximal tubular origin was first proposed.2,23
In general, renal oncocytoma has a variable morphological
appearance. The cells are usually arranged in solid
compact nests/alveoli (acinar growth exemplar) and/or in
cords, tubules and sheets of trabeculae (tubulocystic
arrangement) that are separated by loose edematous fibrous
or hyalinised stroma (Fig. 1a). However, papillary and cystic
architecture might occur in renal oncocytomas, which might
be composed of regularly large oncocytes or small “basophilic”
cells (Fig. 1b). Recently, another aspect of two cell
types of renal oncocytoma has been discussed.24 The predominant
classic form of cells (so-called “oncocyte”) corresponds
to round-to-polygonal cells with densely granular
eosinophilic cytoplasm, round and uniform nuclei with
finely distributed chromatin, and a centrally placed prominent
nucleolus. A smaller population of cells (called
oncoblasts) has less conspicuous, paler, scanty, granular
cytoplasm, a high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, and dense dark
hyperchromatic, markedly pleomorphic nuclei. Bizarre,
polyploidy, enlarged nuclei, which are characteristic for
endocrine adenomas, might be scattered throughout the
renal oncocytomas, but mitoses are absent.
Summarizing the histological data, although the diagnosis
of renal oncocytoma is relatively easy in experienced hands,
difficulties might arise when this neoplasm has atypical
morphology. Additional studies, such as electron microscopy,
chromosomal analysis and immunohistochemistry,
might help in achieving a correct diagnosis.

Overview

The exact pathogenesis of renal oncocytoma is not completely understood. Although some mechanisms are suggested in the pathogenesis of this disease that include, lossing of chromosome 1 and dysfunction of mitochondrial enzymes which is caused by alterations in the mitochondrial DNA. DNA diploidy is seen in 96% of patients with renal oncocytomas. The development of renal oncocytoma is the result of multiple genetic mutations such as deletion of chromosome 1, deletion of the sex chromosome, translocation of chromosome 11q13, sporadic or no chromosomal alteration. Renal oncocytoma can be associated with familial renal oncocytoma or Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome. On gross pathology, tan to brown surface color , well-encapsulated with a thick, well-defined, fibrous capsule, central scar, and homogeneous appearance without any hemorrhage or necrosis inside it in the tumor cut are characteristic findings of renal oncocytoma. On microscopic histopathological analysis, renal oncocytoma characterized by "oncocytes". They are large, round to polygonal neoplastic cells accompanied by eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and are organized in nested or organoid pattern. Although, renal oncocytoma is benign, atypia, prominent nucleoli, and pleomorphism may seen in microscopic examination.

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

Genetics

DNA diploidy is seen in 96% of patients with renal oncocytomas.[5][6][7]

The development of renal oncocytoma is the result of multiple genetic mutations such as:[8][9][10][1][2][11]

Associated Conditions

Conditions associated with renal oncocytoma include:[12][13]

Note: Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome which is presented with different types of dermatologic diseases and renal epithelial tumors such as renal oncocytoma and RCCs.

Gross Pathology

On gross pathology, tan to brown surface color , well-encapsulated with a thick, well-defined, fibrous capsule, central scar, and homogeneous appearance without any hemorrhage or necrosis inside it in the tumor cut are characteristic findings of renal oncocytoma.[14][15][16][17][18][19]
