Cystic nephromas (CNs) are uncommon, benign renal neoplasms reported in infants/young children of both genders and in adult females, concerning the pediatric population few studies have been conducted. The diagnosis of cystic nephroma is based on clinical signs, imaging tests, and anatomo-pathological study. In children, CNs can appear as a palpable abdominal mass in most of cases, hematuria or recurrent urinary infections. They are characterized by multycystic architecture and the exclusive presence of mature nephrogenic elements. Treatment is surgical with a very good prognosis in most of cases. We are going to report a case of a 13-month-old girl child diagnosed with Cystic nephromas who presented to pediatric emergency with unexplained crying episodes in order to increase clinicians awareness about this rare tumor.
