title: Multilocular Cystic Nephroma: A Systematic Literature Review of the Radiologic and Clinical Findings.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of our study was to systematically summarize the published evidence of demographic, clinical, diagnostic imaging, and therapeutic characteristics of patients with multilocular cystic nephroma (MLCN).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cross-sectional imaging evaluation is important for suggesting the diagnosis of MLCN but has several limitations. The number of radical nephrectomies reported for MLCN encourages discussion concerning the utility of percutaneous presurgical biopsy and frozen-section intraoperative biopsy as a more conservative diagnostic approach.
