Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old spayed female Greyhound was diagnosed with a rare type of kidney tumor called bilateral renal oncocytoma. This tumor was found to be locally invasive, meaning it was spreading within the kidney. The diagnosis was confirmed through specific tests that showed changes in the tumor cells. Treatment options for this type of tumor can vary, and it's important for pet owners to discuss the best approach with their veterinarian.

Abstract
A bilateral, locally invasive renal oncocytoma was diagnosed in a 10-year-old spayed female Greyhound dog. The diagnosis was based on positive staining of the tumor with the periodic acid-Schiff reaction prior to diastase treatment, on the immunohistochemical expression of cytoplasmic cytokeratin, and on the prominence of mitochondria in the tumor cells.
