Computed Tomography Appearance of Renal Hybrid Oncocytic/Chromophobe Tumors

Conclusions: A series of HOCTs were found on CT to have 2 distinct patterns—a heterogenous enhancement pattern and an “oncocytoma-like” pattern with a central stellate hypodensity. Although the prospective diagnosis of HOCTs on the basis of CT findings is unlikely, an awareness of the existence of these lesions is important as new means of characterizing renal masses on imaging arise.
