Nexhat Shabani et al. Med Arch. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

Introduction: A case of malign hemorrhagic renal cyst in a 32 - year-old woman is reported. The patient was admitted to our hospital for further evaluation of right upper abdominal mass. CT scan and ultrasonic sonography showed a right giant renal cystic mass. The characteristic findings were thick and irregular wall and heterogeneous contents of the cystic mass.

Case report: The presence of a malignant tumor in the cyst wall was suspected and nephrectomy was performed. The specimen measured 10 x 6 x 4 cm. The cyst contained bloody fluid and a hemorrhagic degenerating mass. Pathohistological examination showed evidence of malignant hemorrhagic renal cyst.

Keywords: kidney; malignant cyst; nephrectomy.
