Unilateral renal cystic disease in an adult

Abdom Imaging. 1994 Jul-Aug;19(4):366-8. doi: 10.1007/BF00198201.

Abstract

Unilateral renal cystic disease (URCD) is a rare, nonfamilial, nonprogressive, unilateral cystic disorder of the kidney. Very few adults with this condition have been documented [1-4]. We describe a case with a 30 year radiologic follow-up. Absence of a family history of cystic renal disease, benign clinical course through adulthood, and limitation of the process to one kidney distinguish this condition from asymmetric autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
