Reversible migratory osteoporosis in renal oncocytoma mimicking renal cell carcinoma with bone metastases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case in which initially the wrong diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma with bone metastases was made. Nephrectomy and bone biopsy led to the right diagnosis of oncocytoma with transient osteoporosis. This report stresses the importance of pathological investigation and points to oncocytoma in the differential diagnosis of solid renal masses. In addition, the possible relationship between this tumour and migratory osteoporosis, which disappeared after surgery, is described.

متن کاملParotid metastasis of renal cell carcinoma, mimicking primary clear cell oncocytoma: report of a case and brief review of the literature.
Malignancies of the parotid gland are relatively uncommon, accounting for only 3-6% of all head and neck cancers. Most of them are primary neoplasms, metastases are uncommon. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents 3% of adult malignancies, the clear cell type comprises up to 70% of all RCC. RCC has an unpredictable behavior and the unique potential to metastasize to nearly every organ in the bod...
