Multilocular cystic nephroma in a young adult: A case report and review of literature.

INTRODUCTION

Multilocular cystic nephroma is an uncommon condition with only few cases described in the literature, although its benign nature is well-recognized.

CASE PRESENTATION

We present a case of a 28-year-old male patient who presented with a right flank pain, imaging suspected a multicystic renal cell carcinoma. A radical nephrectomy was performed view the size of the cyst and the high tumor complexity, which histology confirmed the diagnosis of multilocular cystic nephroma.

DISCUSSION

Multilocular cystic nephroma is a rare renal tumor with few reported cases, making preoperative differentiation from cystic renal cell carcinoma difficult and leading to nephrectomy as the preferred treatment.

CONCLUSION

Multilocular cystic nephroma is typically benign, the scarcity of diagnostic and therapeutic experience necessitates vigilant postoperative surveillance to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.
