Cystic nephroma: Report of two pediatric cases

Abstract

Cystic nephroma(CN) is an uncommon benign renal neoplasm that is characterised as a well circumscribed encapsulated mass that contains multiple noncommunicating fluid-filled locules. Microscopically, the locules are lined by epitelium and separated by a distinct $stroma^{1}$. Since its first discription in 1892 by Edmunds, there have been a little over 100 cases $reported^{1-3}$. Here, we report two pediatric cases, one male, one female with unilateral CN's.
