Abstract

Background and Purpose: Cystic nephroma (CN) and localized renal cystic disease (LRCD) are rare benign renal entities that can occur in children. A retrospective evaluation of the experience with these conditions was performed to emphasize the importance of differential diagnosis, recognition, and selection of the proper mode of treatment.
