Introduction: The imaging findings of oncocytomas usually coincide with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which makes it difficult to discriminate them in imaging. Objective: To evaluate the imaging findings of a sample of oncocytomas in tomography (CT). Methods: We retrospectively selected patients with renal tumor surgery and oncocytoma anatomopathological diagnosis, who were treated between January 2015 and December 2017. Patients who underwent CT with intravenous contrast at our institution were included. Results: Of the total number of patients (n = 44), 43 had a single renal lesion while one patient presented 3 lesions. Of the total lesions (n = 47), 20 (42.55%) were diagnosed after a radical nephrectomy and 24 (51.10%) were diagnosed by a partial nephrectomy. The mean maximum diameter was 36.5 mm (RIQ 22-44, 25), of which they were grouped by tumor length into smaller or larger than 4 cm, with 22 tumors in this last group (47%). Of these, 15 tumors (31.91 %) that were larger than 4 cm had a central scar. Calcifications were evident in 3 patients (6.8 %). One tumor (2.1%) was found with the presence of inversion of segmental enhancement after administration of intravenous contrast. In this case, the oncocytoma was less than 4 cm. Conclusion: The finding of a solid mass with more enhancement than the surrounding parenchyma during the nephrographic phase makes it necessary to consider oncocytoma among the differential diagnoses
