    Summary

    Cystic nephroma, a rare kidney tumor in infants, may represent a differentiated form of Wilms' tumor. This study presents four infant cases, highlighting distinct pathological findings and implications for diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pathology
    • Nephrology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Cystic nephroma, also known as "renal multilocular cyst," is a rare renal tumor.
    • It is often misdiagnosed as Wilms' tumor in infants, necessitating nephrectomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present clinical and pathological findings of four infant cases of cystic nephroma.
    • To differentiate cystic nephroma from Wilms' tumor and discuss its potential relationship.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical data and pathological findings from four infant patients.
    • Histological examination of cystic nephroma specimens.

    Main Results:

    • Cystic nephromas were encapsulated masses with epithelium-lined cysts and septa containing immature metanephric blastema.
    • Associated findings included rhabdomyocytes and mature tubules; embryonic ducts and cartilage were absent.
    • One case showed a cystic lesion adjacent to a separate nephroblastoma nodule.

    Conclusions:

    • Cystic nephroma in infants may represent a differentiated counterpart of nephroblastoma (Wilms' tumor).
    • Distinguishing cystic nephroma from Wilms' tumor is crucial for appropriate management and prognosis.
