Abstract
The prognosis of Hybrid oncocytic chromophobe tumor (HOCT) is usually excellent, nevertheless, we are reporting a rare case of HOCT that resulted in death from tumor infection and rupture. Bilateral solid and cystic masses were detected in a 55-year-old woman during a computed tomography examination. HOCT was diagnosed following histopathological examination obtained during needle biopsy. Watchful waiting at another hospital was selected as the treatment strategy. Three years later, she was referred to our hospital in shock and died on the 3rd hospital day. The cause of death was thought to be peritonitis secondary to rupture of an infected HOCT.
