Adjacent kidney showed evidence of oncocytosis, reactive changes in the entrapped renal tubules, and features of chronic pyelonephritis.
In this regard, Brandwein and Huvos (1) found a history of radiation exposure in some of their cases, and Becker et al (14) described an age-dependent intracellular metabolic defect associated with mitochon driopathy as an explanation for the development of oncocytosis in 2 of their cases.
