Multicystic nephroma is a rare renal pathology, which is characterized usually by a unilateral renal mass with multiple thin-walled cysts divided by septa. We report the case of a boy aged 2 years, who was diagnosed in utero with an abdominal cystic lesion during routine antenatal ultrasonography examination. The patient underwent a nephrectomy, and diagnosis of cystic nephroma was confirmed by histology.

The incidence of renal cell cancer (RCC) is low in individuals aged less than 40 years; however several studies have shown this increasing trend over the years. Hereditary syndromes are associated with RCC and are more frequently observed in early-onset cases. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the patients, aged less than 40 years, who were operated for a renal mass with the suspicion of RCC.

Wilms' tumor (or nephroblastoma) is the most common renal malignancy in the pediatric population which consists of blastemal, epithelial, and stromal elements in variable proportions. The occurrence of renal cysts in children and infants is a rare phenomenon and is possibly an outcome of developmental aberrations in mesonephric blastema. The coincidental association of nephroblastoma with renal cysts is a very rare finding.
