Image Description
Telangiectatic oncocytoma is an uncommon variant that accounts for about 15% of all renal oncocytomas. Due to its vascularity, it is often misdiagnosed radiologically as a malignant or a suspicious renal neoplasm.
Grossly, it appears as a well-circumscribed, dark-brown hemorrhagic spongy mass without a central stellate scar.
