Overview
On gross pathology, large, unilateral, multiloculated, and well-encapsulated cystic tumor is the characteristic finding of cystic nephroma. On microscopic histopathological analysis, cysts lined by a simple epithelium with a hobnail morphology and ovarian-like stroma are characteristic findings of cystic nephroma.
Gross Pathology
Characteristic findings of cystic nephroma on gross pathology include:
- Large, unilateral, and multiloculated cystic tumor
- Well-encapsulated
- Nodular surface
Microscopic Pathology
The characteristics of cystic nephromas include:
- Cysts lined by a simple epithelium with a hobnail morphology（i.e. the nuclei of the cyst lining epithelium bulges into the lumen of the cysts）
- Ovarian-like stroma
- Spindle cell morphology
- Basophilic cytoplasm
