Abstract EN
Background.
Oncocytomas are the second most common benign renal neoplasm but, unfortunately, they are difficult to differentiate from renal cell carcinoma.
Renal oncocytomas are rare and have mostly been reported in adults.
To our knowledge, this is only the sixth pediatric reported case of renal oncocytoma worldwide.
Case Presentation.
A 14-year-old Yemeni girl with a recurrent history of urinary tract infections came to our clinic complaining of left flank pain with a frontal headache.
Ultrasound showed a 3 cm, well-defined echogenic lesion with mild vascularity.
This lesion increased in size on her subsequent follow-ups.
Computed tomography showed no intralesional fat, vessels invasion, or enlarged lymph nodes.
The patient underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, and a pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of renal oncocytoma.
Conclusion and Recommendations.
We present the rare occurrence of renal oncocytoma in a pediatric patient and highlight the importance of considering oncocytomas in the diagnosis of a renal mass.
