Contribution of one case report of papillary cystadenoma, a very uncommon benign epithelial tumour. Related to von Hippel-Lindau's disease, it may be associated to infertility. It tends to occur in young adults, lesions being bilateral in one third of cases. It is diagnosed through palpation and particularly with ultrasound techniques.
