Abstract
Multiloculated renal cell carcinoma and multilocular renal cyst with renal cell carcinoma are uncommon diseases. We report on 2 cases of multiloculated renal cell carcinoma. To our knowledge 16 cases of multiloculated renal cell carcinoma and multilocular renal cyst with renal cell carcinoma have been previously described in detail. The authors review the literature and discuss the aetiology and diagnosis of the disease.
