Renal oncocytomas are benign epithelial tumors, often asymptomatic, and incidentally diagnosed. Here is a case of 60 year old male where radiological features of the renal mass suggested renal cell carcinoma, but on histopathology and immunohistochemical study, diagnosis of renal oncocytoma was given. In this report, we discuss literature review of clinical, radiological, ultrastructural, pathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of renal oncocytoma and other eosinophilic renal neoplasms. Keywords: eosinophilic, immunohistochemistry, oncocytoma, renal cell carcinoma.
