Summary:Multilocular cystic nephroma (MCN) is an uncommon manifestation of renal mass, and its pathogenesis is unclear and has been debated. We treated an adult female case of MCN which was by enucleation of the cystic mass. In the literatures many cases of MCN had been undergone nephrctomy, because of difficulty to confirm the preoperative diagnosis or to distinguish from malignant tumor. MCN has the unique gross appearance, therefore it is not so difficult to make the diagnosis using recently developed diagnostic imaging technique. However, there are few reports of MCN associated withmalignancy. Since MCN is essentially a benign lesion, it is appropriate and reasonable to manage by conservative surgery as far as possible.
