Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma (CPDN) is a rare neoplastic disorder consisting of a well-demarcated cystic lesion of the kidney where blastemal or other embryonic cells are present in the septa of the cysts. Magnetic resonance imaging can detect the cystic character of the lesion and
