Cystic nephroma is a rare, benign multicystic lesion of the kidney. This tumor
occurs both in children and in adults. In children, it is highly prevalent in
males; in adults, it is more frequent in women. The term "cystic nephroma"
represents two apparently different entities: pediatric cystic nephroma, a benign
form thought to originate from metanephric tissue, and adult cystic nephroma,
considered as a lesion of mixed epithelial stromal tumor. The clinical
presentation may be a palpable mass or nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal
pain, hematuria, and urinary tract infections. In this review, we summarize the
ultrasound imaging features of cystic nephroma and describe the characteristics
of the most common renal cystic lesions and the differential diagnosis of cystic
nephroma with other renal cystic lesions.
