Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Renal multilocular cysts are rare benign kidney tumors.
  • Their etiology is debated, with theories including acquired or malformative origins.

Observation:

  • The study presents two cases of renal multilocular cyst.
  • A literature review highlights the tumor's unique characteristics.

Findings:

  • Renal multilocular cysts affect both children and adults equally.
  • Histological features are precise, but preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis remains difficult despite advanced imaging.
  • Nephrectomy is the primary treatment in most cases.

Implications:

  • Improved diagnostic strategies are needed for renal multilocular cysts.
