Cystic nephroma, adult type is a rare, benign kidney tumour.
Pathologically, cystic nephroma, adult type is separated from cystic nephroma, pediatric type by DICER1 mutations.
Turbiner et al.[1] have suggested that cystic nephroma and mixed epithelial and stromal tumour (MEST) are one tumour; the lumping term is renal epithelial and stromal tumour (abbreviated REST).
General
- Rare.[2]
- Good prognosis/benign.[2][3]
- Considered to be on a spectrum with cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma and Wilms tumour.[3]
Gross
- Bubble wrap-like appearance.

Microscopic
Features:
- Cysts lined by simple epithelium with hobnailing - key feature.
- Stroma has an ovarian look:
- Blue (basophilic).
- Spindle cells.
Notes:
- Parenchymal elements (e.g. glomueruli, tubules) are not found in the septa between the cysts.
