  • Title: Renal cell carcinoma originating in a renal cyst in a 12-year-old girl.
    Author: Kadekawa K, Miyazato M, Saito S, Morozumi M, Matsuzaki A, Yoshimi N, Sugaya K.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2009 Dec; 44(12):e5-7. PubMed ID: 20006003.
    Abstract:
    We report a 12-year-old girl with renal cell carcinoma originating in a cyst of the left kidney. Ultrasonography revealed 2 small hyperechoic masses in the luminal side of a cyst. Although hypervascularity was not detected in the cyst by computed tomography, the possibility of malignancy could not be ruled out because of the presence of 2 solid masses. Therefore, partial left nephrectomy was performed. On histopathologic examination, the 2 solid masses within the cyst were found to be renal cell carcinoma. This patient remains disease-free at 4 years after partial nephrectomy.
