Benign multilocular cyst is a rare benign multicystic renal tumor. It usually involves the kidneys unilaterally. There is no generally accepted theory concerning its pathogenesis. The usual clinical presentation is an asymptomatic abdominal mass in children and nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, hematuria, and urinary tract infection in adults. This report presents a case of benign multilocular cyst in an 18-months-old boy admitted with abdominal distension and a palpable mass in his right loin. The patient underwent right total nephrectomy, and histological findings were compatible with benign multilocular cyst.
良性多房性囊肿是一种罕见的良性多囊性肾肿瘤。它通常单侧累及肾脏。关于其发病机制尚无普遍接受的理论。通常的临床表现是儿童无症状腹部肿块,成人则为腹痛、血尿和尿路感染等非特异性症状。本报告介绍了一例18个月大男孩的良性多房性囊肿病例,该男孩因腹胀和右腰部可触及肿块入院。患者接受了右肾全切术,组织学检查结果与良性多房性囊肿相符。
