Multilocular Renal Cyst: Report of Two Cases
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Multilocular cyst of the kidney is a rare pathologic entity, noninherited benign renal neoplasm occurring in the both children and adults. The entities commonly were known as multilocular cyst of the kidney or multilocular cystic nephroma. The
controversy over the pathogenesis of multilocular cyst -neoplasm versus develjopmental anomaly- is still unsettled. We report two cases of multilocular renal cyst, one in a 8-year-old child with a chief complaint of gross hematuria and another in
a
44-year-old woman with epigastiric discomfortness. They were preoperatively suspected multilocular cyst by multilocular cyst by ultrasonography and computed tomography. We performed a simple nephrectomy as the treatment of choice because of the
difficulty in accurate diagnosis and the documented association with renal neoplasia.
