Abstract:
Multilocular renal cyst is an uncommon lesion which has various terminologies and controversial criteria of definition. Recently, it is said that these can be divided into cystic nephroma(CN) and cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma(CPDN) based on the presence or absence of blastemal tissue and differentiation of the tissue within the septa of the cyst. We experienced a case of multilocular renal cyst(CN) which contains mature tubular and glomerular structures in the septa without evidence of blastema or embryonal elements and we are going to discuss the significance of this blastemal or embryonal tissue with regard to nature, classification, and prognosis with literatures.
