Cytopathology of Warthin's tumor, with typical cellular features (and a relatively uncommon binucleated cell).[1] Pap stain. The relatively large size of the oncocytes is seen when comparing to the lymphocyte.Micrograph showing apocrine-type metaplasia of the breast with typical oncocytes.[2] H&E stain.Oncocytes (left of image), as seen in a renal oncocytoma. H&E stain.
An oncocyte is an epithelial cell characterized by an excessive number of mitochondria, resulting in an abundant acidophilic, granular cytoplasm. Oncocytes can be benign or malignant.
