Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma: a rare pediatric renal tumor-case report.
Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma is a rare renal tumor of childhood. It is part of a spectrum of multicystic renal tumors that also includes cystic nephroma and cystic Wilms' tumor. We present a case of cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma, highlighting the clinical and imaging diagnostic challenge. Although the histological diagnostic criteria for all these 3 entities are well established, they are clinically and radiologically indistinguishable. Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma is often observed in male children under 2 years old. Typical clinical presentations include abdominal masses, abdominal pain and/or hematuria. Patients should be treated according to tumor histology and stage.
