Abstract
The authors describe an uncommon case of cystic nephroma. They define the histologic characteristics which lead to correct diagnosis, while showing how difficult preoperative diagnosis is (ultrasound, CT, angiography). They discuss treatment and affirm that nephrectomy is still the choice operation in relation to the potential malignity of the lesion.
