Oncocytic lipoadenoma is a rare tumor, with only 18 cases having been reported since the first in 1998. We encountered a case of oncocytic lipoadenoma presenting as a slowly growing parotid mass in a 71-year-old man. This tumor is characteristically comprised of a mixture of oncocytes and adipocytes. The present case is one of five reported cases of oncocytic lipoadenoma showing sebaceous differentiation. The results of immunohistochemical study with DOG1 antibody supported the origination of this tumor in the striated duct.

Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma of the ovary is an extremely rare ovarian tumors and may cause a diagnostic problem. This tumor was first described by Ooartman and Elliot in 1983. The differential diagnosis in cases of hepatocellular carcinoma metastatic to the ovary is with primary and metastatic hepatoid tumors of the ovary and diverse other tumors of the ovary composed of oxyphil cells, which may be primary or metastatic. We have experienced one case of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma of the ovary with brief review of the literature.

Renal oncocytomas are neoplasms consisting of oncocytes, which are large epithelial cells with finely granular eosinophilic cytoplasm. The incidence of these tumors are unknown and exceedingly rare but believed to range between 5 and 10% of renal cortical tumors. Although renal oncocytomas are considered benign neoplasms, they are difficult to differentiate from renal cell carcinomas and easily misdiagnosed as carcinomas. We report a case that are indistinguishable from renal cell carcinoma preoperatively and another case showing apparently benign nature, despite its large size, 17 x 15cm and 8 years long history. So a provisional diagnosis of renal oncocytoma was made after renal computed tomography demonstrated characteristic appearance of this tumor and the diagnosis was confirmed with electron microscopy.

Adrenal oncocytomas are very rare. Because most of them are benign and nonfunctioning, they are detected incidentally. Here, we report a case of nonfunctioning benign adrenocortical oncocytoma located in the left adrenal gland in a 54-year-old man who presented with no symptoms. The tumor was 4.5 x 3 x 3 cm in size and was predominantly composed of oncocytes, which exhibited abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and were arranged with a nested or diffuse architecture without capsular or vascular invasion. Nuclear atypia and mitotic figures were not observed. A discussion of this case and a review of recent updates in the literature are presented. In patients with adrenocortical oncocytomas, treatment is similar to that for adrenocortical neoplasia. However, due to the risk of over-diagnosis of malignancy, and the better clinical outcomes associated with adrenocortical oncocytoma, more attention should be paid to the diagnosis of adrenocortical oncocytoma.

Oncocytoma is a neoplasm consisting of oncocytes that is found in the salivary gland, kidney, and thyroid. Adrenocortical oncocytoma is particularly uncommon, and most cases reported are benign and nonfunctioning. Here, we report a 20 cm adrenal mass associated with necrosis that was identified as an oncocytic adrenocortical tumor with uncertain malignant potential through histopathological evaluation after its resection.

Melanotic oncocytic metaplasia of the nasopharynx is a rare condition which is characterized by the presence of usually a small, brown to black colored pigmented lesion around the Eustachian tube opening. Although it is a benign lesion, it may be clinically misdiagnosed as malignant melanoma. Microscopically, melanotic oncocytic metaplasia is a combination of oncocytic metaplasia of the epithelium of the gland and melanin pigmentation in its cytoplasm. In our present study, we report three cases of melanotic oncocytic metaplasia of the nasopharynx. All the three cases occurred in men and were presented as multiple black pigmented lesions around the torus tubarius. Microscopically, mucous glands with diffuse oncocytic metaplasia and numerous black pigments were observed. No cellular atypia was observed. Immunohistochemically, the scattering of S-100 protein-positive, and human melanoma black 45-negative dendritic melanocytes was evident. This is the first report of cases of melanotic oncocytic metaplasia of the nasopharynx in Korea.

The increased use of thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) has refocused on Hurthle cell lesions. The cytologic diagnosis of Hurthle cell tumor is a challenge due to the presence of Hurthle cells in non-neoplastic lesions and the inability to differentiate between benign and malignant Hurthle cell tumor. We report a case of Hurthle cell adenoma(HCA) in a 68-year old woman, with reivew of the cytopathologic findings. FNA revealed losely cohesive or sheets of sheets of large oval to polygonal Hurthle cells containing bundant granular cytoplasm. The histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of HCA with follicular growth pattern, Ultrastructurally, the cytoplasm was packed with variable sized mitochondria.

Parotid oncocytoma is a benign salivary gland neoplasm that represent approximately 1% of all salivary gland tumors. Histopathologically, this condition consists of oncocytes, which are polygonal cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm, ultrastructually showing an increased number of mitochondria. We herein report a typical case of oncocytoma of the parotid gland in a 73-year-old woman who presented a 2X2 cm, reddish firm nodule on the right postauricular area for 3 years.
