Abstract
Multicystic nephroma is a relatively rare , non genetic , unilateral , lesion of the kidney which has a bimodal distribution . The nonspecific clinical findings and the poor contribution of imaging examinations make the preoperative diagnosis a diagnostic dilemma and difficult to differentiate from other cystic renal neoplasia.
We report a case of cystic nephroma in a 40 yr old female who presented with a right sided abdominal lump and pain abdomen since 6 months . After a series of examinations including abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography , she underwent right partial nephrectomy and diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology.
Conclusion: Final diagnosis can be only established by the histopathological examination of the completely excised tumour in the pathology laboratory
