AbstractOsseous metaplasia is a rare histologic feature associated with renal cell carcinoma, occurring in a contracted kidney is still rarer. Metaplastic bone formation within the renal tumor gives an appearance similar to that of calcification. It is difficult to distinguish between bone formation and calcification on the basis of radiological imaging alone. Prognostic significance of metaplastic bone formation in renal cell carcinoma is not clear, however some report suggest good prognosis as a result of limitation of tumor spread by bone formation. This case report highlights the occurrence of renal cell carcinoma with osseous metaplasia in a contracted kidney.

Renal oncocytomas accounts for 3% to 9% of primary renal neoplasms. The coexistence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) within the oncocytoma is extremely rare. We report the case of an asymptomatic 74-year-old man with papillary RCC within oncocytoma managed with left radical nephrectomy.
