Benign multilocal cystic nephroma.

D H Carlson, D Carlson, H Simon

    AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
    |October 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Multilocular cystic nephroma is a rare kidney condition affecting only one part of a single kidney. Imaging studies show it as avascular, but ultrasound reveals solid components, making differentiation from renal carcinoma crucial.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urologic Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Multilocular cystic nephroma (MCN) is a rare renal tumor.
    • It is distinguished from congenital multicystic kidney and adult polycystic kidney disease by its segmental involvement of a single kidney.

    Observation:

    • Described are three cases of MCN.
    • Radiological evaluation including excretory urogram, nephrotomogram, and arteriogram suggested a primarily avascular lesion.
    • However, ultrasound studies in two cases revealed predominantly solid characteristics.

    Findings:

    • The solid appearance on ultrasound is attributed to small cyst size and primitive solid components.
    • Differentiating MCN from avascular renal carcinoma based solely on imaging can be challenging.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis is critical to avoid unnecessary nephrectomy.
    • Surgical biopsy is recommended for definitive diagnosis when imaging is inconclusive.
    • Understanding the imaging characteristics of MCN is important for urologists and radiologists.
