Multilocular cystic nephroma is a relatively rare benign tumour of the kidney, which usually presents as a unilateral multicystic renal mass without solid elements. The lesions typically have a bimodal age, with peak incidence in male children under 24 months and another one in women over 40 old. We present an unusual case report of multilocular cystic nephroma in the right kidney in a 30-year-old male. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed. The pathologic examination confirmed a multilocular cystic nephroma in the right renal specimens. We present the image findings, pathological features, treatment alternatives and a review of the literature.

Abstract We describe an extremely rare occurrence of a squamous differentiation in a sarcomatoid chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in a 45-year-old woman with nodal and lung metastasis at presentation. The tumor on histology showed all 3 components intimately admixed with each other, which to the best of our knowledge is the first such case to be reported in the literature. The renal pelvis was smooth walled and uninvolved. Kidney-specific cadherin was positive in the chromophobe renal cell carcinoma areas and negative in the sarcomatoid and squamous areas.

INTRODUCTION: It is a challenge to make accurate pre-surgical diagnosis for renal tumors. This study is to report the findings, management, and outcome of one rare case of ossification in a cystic renal mass. We present and discuss the pathological characteristics, radiologic features, and treatment alternatives of the patient. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 38 years old female patient had intermittent epigastric pain and microscopic hematuria for two months. Computerized tomography (CT) scan and Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass with rough edge and dense calcification in the upper pole of the right kidney and normal left kidney. Pre-operative diagnosis is cystic nephroma or cystic renal mass (Bosniak III type, Bosniak renal cyst classification). GFR was within normal limits for age and no other significant laboratory aberrations were noted. Patient underwent a right retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (margin status was negative). A mini literature review was performed to highlight the principals of diagnosis and treatment of cystic renal mass with heterotopic ossification. RESULTS: The entire renal mass was successfully removed from upper pole of the right kidney by laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery. The size of renal mass is 38×35×30 mm3 with thick and hard capsular wall. The cystic cavity contains yellow lipid-like substances without stone. Histological examination revealed renal cyst in which the cyst wall reveals fibrosis and no obvious lining epithelium. The additional unique feature includes the presence of dense calcification and ossification in the renal mass. Localization tissue of yellow bone marrow was detected. No complications occurred in 9 months after surgery during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Cystic renal mass with heterotopic ossification is a rare case of non-malignant renal tumor. Whether surgery is needed depends to whether patients have symptoms. For symptom renal tumors, laparoscopic nephron sparing surgical procedure is recommended. Furthermore, complete surgical resection of the lesion is needed when the mass is suspected to be malignant. An accurate histologic diagnosis is key in its diagnosis.
