Abstract :
Benign multilocular cyst is a rare benign multicystic renal tumor.
It usually involves the kidneys unilaterally. There is no generally
accepted theory concerning its pathogenesis. The usual clinical
presentation is an asymptomatic abdominal mass in children and
nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, hematuria, and
urinary tract infection in adults. This report presents a case of
benign multilocular cyst in an 18-months-old boy admitted with
abdominal distension and a palpable mass in his right loin. The
patient underwent right total nephrectomy, and histological findings
were compatible with benign multilocular cyst
