===General===
{{Main|Renal oncocytoma}}
*Can be difficult to distinguish radiologically from RCC (chromophobe subtype).
** ... and pathologists occasionally struggle like the radiologists.
*Benign tumour - the reason it is excised is... one cannot be certain it isn't a RCC.
 
===Gross===
*Brown, mahogany brown.
*1/3 have a characteristic central scar.<ref name=Ref_GUP302>{{Ref GUP|302}}</ref>

===Microscopic===
Features:
*Eosinophilic cytoplasm - slightly granular '''key feature'''.
*Cells arranged in nests.
*Nuclei uniform and round.<ref name=Ref_GUP302>{{Ref GUP|302}}</ref>
**Slightly enlarged nuclei, but '''no significant''' pleomorphism (size variation) - '''important'''.
 
Notes:
*May look like eosinophilic variant of chromophobe RCC -- this is the main DDx.
**A comparison based on histomorphology: ''[[Kidney_tumours#Tabular_comparison_of_oncocytoma_and_chromophobe_RCC|Tabular comparison between ChRCC & oncocytoma]]''.
***Oncocytoma typically has: no perinuclear clearing, no raisinoid nuclei, no binucleation.
 
DDx:
*[[Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma]], eosinophilic variant.
*[[Clear cell renal cell carcinoma]], eosinophilic variant.

====Micro====
The sections show a tumour with cells arranged in nests. The tumour cells have abundant
eosinophilic cytoplasm. The tumour cell nuclei are round and have round nucleoli. No
perinuclear halos are apparent. Binucleation is not apparent. No zonal necrosis is
identified. Focally, tumour nests are spaced reminiscent of an archipelago. Mitoses are not
apparent. The tumour is moderately circumscribed.
 
The thin rim of renal parenchyma has no apparent pathology on the H&E stained sections.
