Overview
Oncocytoma is a rare benign neoplasm arising from oncocytes. It occurs in various organs, such as bronchial, lacrimal, salivary, parathyroid, and thyroid glands–Hürthle cell adenoma, anterior pituitary, but particularly in the kidneys. Both adults and children may get this disease.
How do I know if I have oncocytoma and what are the symptoms of oncocytoma?
Usual symptoms include:
- Hematuria or blood in urine
Other health problems may also cause these symptoms. Only a doctor can tell for sure. A person with any of these symptoms should tell the doctor so that the problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
Who is at risk for oncocytoma?
It is not clear at present.
How to know you have oncocytoma?
- Computed tomography (CT) scan: CT scans are often used to diagnose oncocytoma. It can confirm the location of the tumor and show the organs near the kidneys, as well as lymph nodes
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): An MRI uses magnetic fields but it is a different type of image than what is produced by computed tomography (CT) and produces detailed images of the body. Like computed tomography (CT), a contrast agent may be injected into a patient’s vein to create a better picture.
When to seek urgent medical care?
If you experience either of the following symptoms, seeking urgent medical care as soon as possible:
- Large hematuria
Treatment options
The main treatment for oncocytoma is nephrectomy.
Diseases with similar symptoms
Where to find medical care for oncocytoma?
Directions to Hospitals Treating oncocytoma
Prevention of oncocytoma
For the reason of oncocytoma is not clear, the prevention measure is not known.
What to expect (Outook/Prognosis)?
The prognosis of oncocytoma depends on the surgery. Nephrectomy is an effective treatment for oncocytoma. After surgery, the outcome is good for patients.
