Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma (CPDN) is a rare multicystic renal tumor along the spectrum of cystic nephroma and cystic Wilms' tumor. There have only been two previously reported cases of bilateral CPDN in the literature. We present here a case of bilateral CPDN vs cystic Wilms' tumor treated with neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy in addition to a bilateral partial nephrectomy. We also review the relevant literature regarding CPDN in an effort to aid in diagnosis and management of these rare cystic renal tumors.

Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma (CPDN) is a rare pediatric renal tumor composed of multiple cystic spaces divided by septa containing immature nephrogenic elements. The presence of expansile solid areas in the septa of such a lesion indicates an alternative diagnosis of Wilms tumor (WT). We present a unique case of CPDN associated with grossly visible polypoid proliferations, which histologically correspond to botryoid growth of intralobar nephrogenic rests.

Article Synopsis
  • Extrarenal teratoid Wilms' tumor (TWT) is a rare type of cancer with complex histology, making diagnosis challenging; the case discussed involves an 8-year-old girl with a mediastinal mass containing nephroblastomatous elements.
  • Surgical resection revealed a mature cystic teratoma mixed with nephroblastoma, and immunohistochemical tests confirmed the diagnosis, leading to a smooth recovery for the patient.
  • This case emphasizes the importance of detailed histopathological analysis in distinguishing TWT from other tumors, underlining the necessity for long-term monitoring due to potential recurrence.

Kidney cysts and tumors often are identified during imaging for unrelated issues. Kidney cysts can be attributable to heritable polycystic kidney diseases. These cysts are rare in children.

Background: Concomitant Wilms tumor (WT) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is exceedingly rare, presenting a diagnostic and technical challenge to pediatric surgical oncologists. The simultaneous workup and management of these disease processes are incompletely described.

Procedure: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients treated at our institution with concomitant diagnoses of WT and ADPKD.
