Abstract

Unilateral renal cystic disease (URCD) is a rare, non-familial, non-progressive, unilateral cystic disorder of the kidney that is not associated with cysts or disorders in other organs and it is not related to other genetic cystic diseases. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of URCD in an adult male 49 years of age. Absence of a family history, benign clinical course and limitation of the disease to one kidney distinguish this condition from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
