A case of multilocular cyst of the kidney with embryonic tissue has been reported. The patient was a five‐month‐old girl. A large multicystic space occupying lesion was found in the right kidney. Some embryonic renal tissue was observed in the cystic mass by microscopy. The significance of the presence of the embryonic renal tissue in a multilocular cyst of children was discussed referring to other cases reported in the literature.
