Summary

Cystic nephroma, a rare pediatric kidney tumor, can mimic other small round cell tumors on initial cytology. This case underscores the importance of histopathology for accurate diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Cytopathology
  • Renal Pathology

Background:

  • Cystic nephroma is a rare pediatric renal neoplasm requiring differentiation from Wilms' tumor and other cystic renal masses.
  • Cytologic literature on cystic nephroma is limited, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 7-month-old female presented with an abdominal mass initially suspected as cystic Wilms' tumor via CT scan.
  • Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed monomorphic round cells, suggesting a small round cell tumor like rhabdomyosarcoma.
  • Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis as multicystic nephroma after reviewing the cytologic smears.

Findings:

  • The cytologic smears of cystic nephroma lacked the expected blastemal component, leading to a potential misdiagnosis.
  • The case demonstrates an unusual cytologic presentation of cystic nephroma.

Implications:

  • Accurate differentiation of cystic nephroma from other pediatric renal tumors is crucial.
  • This case highlights the potential for misdiagnosis based on cytology alone and emphasizes the need for careful histopathologic correlation.
