Abstract

Wilm’s tumor is the commonest malignant renal tumor in infants and children. Congenital Cystic Partially Differentiated Nephroblastoma (CPDN) is a rare form of Wilm’s tumor. It presents with painless abdominal distention and flank mass. It is considered of low malignancy potential. Complete surgical resection is usually curative. We report a 10 month old boy with a right flank mass. CT scan showed a right well capsulated hypodense cystic mass occupying the whole kidney with septations. Right nephrectomy was done. The pathology revealed (CPDN). Post-operative course was uneventful. The infant is doing well.
