[Multilocular cystic renal adenocarcinoma].
On detecting a complex cystic renal mass, we are faced with the problem of making the differential diagnosis from a variety of diseases, some of very distinct nature and prognosis. Surgical exploration may occasionally be warranted to make the diagnosis since no radiological or analytical method, including cytological analysis of its content, is absolutely reliable. A 46-year-old male patient with multicystic renal adenocarcinoma is described. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas that arise on detecting a multilocular renal mass in an adult patient.
