Clinicopathologic Features of Cystic Nephroma: Series of Cases

Cystic nephroma is a rare multicystic benign tumor of kidney. In our study we evaluated retrospectively the clinical and histopathologic features of 20 patients with cystic nephroma that were diagnosed between 2005-2017. Demographics of patients, clinical history, clinical diagnosis and pathologic characteristics of the specimen were assessed. 15 patients were female. Ages ranged from 1 to 63 years. 12 patients had lomber or flank pain. 14 patients underwent radical and 6 patients underwent partial nephrectomy. There was no recurrence during follow-up. Cystic nephromas mimic other cystic renal neoplasms clinically and radiologically, necessitating histopathological examination for definitive diagnosis
