    Abstract:
    A case of bilateral, synchronous renal cell carcinoma and oncocytoma is reported. The patient was a 70-year-old woman. Computed tomographic scan revealed bilateral low density masses, which had a diameter of approximately 4 cm (right kidney), and 2.5 cm (left kidney). We suspected bilateral renal cell carcinomas, and performed, right nephrectomy and left enucleation of the tumor. Pathological diagnosis was right renal cell carcinoma and left oncocytoma. To our knowledge only 5 previous cases of renal cell carcinoma associated with oncocytoma have been reported in Japan. Two cases were metachronous and three cases were unilateral and synchronous. This is the first reported case of bilateral, synchronous renal cell carcinoma and oncocytoma.
