Spontaneously ruptured multilocular cystic nephroma in an infant

Abstract

We present the case of a 10‐month‐old girl with spontaneously ruptured cystic nephroma with a 1‐week‐old abdominal mass and a 1‐day history of marked abdominal distension. The tumor presented as gourd‐shaped, cystic solid mass in the right kidney with fluid collection. The tumor was successfully removed by urgent surgery. The girl remained in good condition throughout six‐month follow‐up after.
