Abstract
Cystic Nephroma is an uncommon neoplasm. It is classified as a part of the mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) family under the WHO 2016 classification.1 Here we report a case of cystic nephroma in a 22 year old female who presented with symptoms of flank pain, hematuria and history of recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI).
