Spectrum of cystic variants of Wilm's tumour: cystic nephroma (multilocular cyst) and cystic partially differentiated nephroma--a report of four cases.
Two cases of cystic nephroma (multilocular cyst of the kidney), and one case each of cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma (CPDN) and rhabdomyomatous Wilms' tumour are described. All were male and in the pediatric age group. Grossly tumours were unilateral, unicentric and multiloculated. The need for proper designation of these lesions is highlighted because of difference in the treatment and prognosis of these tumours.
