Prognosis
Almost all cases of oncocytoma behave in a benign fashion with no recurrence, metastasis or mortality. Some atypical features, such as nuclear pleomorphism, perinephric fat involvement and focal necrosis do not seem influence prognosis. Rarely few cases of RO have simulated malignant behavior showing extension to branches of renal vein however this does not correlate with poor outcome. A case of metastatic oncocytoma has been reported.
Treatment
Nephrectomy - total or partial
