Unilateral Renal Cystic Disease / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Unilateral renal cystic disease (URCD) is a rare, non-familial, non-progressive renal disorder that is not associated with cysts or disorders in other organs, and it is not related to other genetic cystic diseases. URCD is pathologically indistinguishable from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). However, URCD is clinically and radiologically characterized by a negative family history, normal renal function and unilateral localization. We present here a case in which the final diagnosis was made by pathologic documentation through laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. This is the 26th case that has been reported on in the medical literature, and this case was pathologically diagnosed.
