Abstract
The light and electron microscopic morphology of two renal parenchymal tumors was consistent with the diagnosis of renal oncocytoma. Both tumors had a mosaic chromosome pattern of cells with normal and abnormal karyotypes. No recurrent chromosome aberration and also no rearrangement of chromosome 3p was found. Restriction analysis of the mitochondrial DNA revealed a new autoradiographic band at about 50 basepairs in size occurring exclusively in oncocytomas. The possible use of these findings in the diagnosis of renal oncocytomas is discussed.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
