An Oncocytoma is a tumor, usually benign, and most often affecting the kidneys. It is made up of Oncocytes, which are a special type of cell which appears constantly swollen, due to the fact they contain large amounts of Mitochondria (their power converters) meaning they can produce more energy and food.
