[1,2]. Pathologically, CPDN is distinct from Wilms tumor in that the tumor is entirely cystic with no solid component. The thin septa typically house blastema, with or without embryonal stromal or epithelial elements. Clinically, CPDN presents similarly to Wilms tumor, but it has been described as a relatively benign tumor with low malignant potential [2][3][4].Evidence suggests that stage I CPDN may be treated with nephrectomy alone, while chemotherapy is reserved for higher stage disease [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Stages II-V disease is uncommon, therefore, there is less experience with these patients, and little is known about the best way to treat them. In this report, we describe the case of a 1-year-old diagnosed with stage III CPDN having recurrent disease after total nephrectomy and chemotherapy.Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma (CPDN) has low malignant potential. We report a 1-year-old with stage III CPDN of the right kidney that recurred following radical nephrectomy and chemotherapy. There was evidence of tumor spillage pre-operatively and intra-operatively. During chemotherapy the disease recurred in the omentum and the peritoneum. Pathology of the recurrent resected cysts revealed a more differentiated biphasic tumor without blastemal elements. It appears that spillage of CPDN in our patient led to dissemination of disease. Chemotherapy failed to prevent recurrence but only mature elements were present following this treatment. The intensity of therapy required to treat CPDN remains undefined.
