ABSTRACT
Background/Aim:
Cystic nephroma (CN) is a very rare, benign, renal cystic lesion, which is characterized by a usually unilateral, multicystic kidney mass. In adults it is seen more frequently in females (18 male-to-female ratio). The peak incidence of CN is between 50 and 60 years of age. Median age at diagnosis is 55 years for females and 44 years for men and it is a rare entity in adults under 30 years of age. Case Report We report the case of a 52-year-old female patient with chronic right-flank pain, who was treated at our hospital. A multiloculated 10×8.6 cm Bosniak IV renal cyst tumor was depicted on retroperitoneal computed tomography. After a three-dimensional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, the histopathological specimen examination revealed a multilocular cystic nephroma.Conclusion:
CNs are rare benign tumors that should be included in the differential diagnosis when treating large multiloculated complex renal cysts.
