OBJECTIVES: To report one case of renalcell carcinoma and contralateral metacronousoncocytoma, and to perform a bibliographic review onthe topic.METHODS: 52-year-old male patient with history ofright radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. Onhis ten-year follow-up multiple lesions appeared in theleft kidney. Partial nephrectomy was performed.Pathological study showed three oncocytomas.CONCLUSIONS: The presence of metacronous lesionsin the contralateral kidney of a patient with history ofrenal cell carcinoma is rare. The presence of the samehistological type of tumor should always be suspectedand the management should follow this suspicion.Contralateral metacronous oncocytoma is a rarepathology which has not been reported in the literatureso far.
