Cystic nephroma in the adult: pathological aspects and therapeutic implications.
Cystic nephroma is a benign renal neoplasm. Since its initial description, there has been much debate regarding its origin. Preoperative diagnosis of Cystic nephroma is difficult to achieve. The differential diagnoses of Cystic nephroma are recently described mixed epithelial and stromal tumours of the kidney and cystic renal cell carcinoma. The Authors report three cases of Cystic nephroma and illustrate the clinical, radiological and histological features of this renal neoplasm.
