Both kidneys are markedly enlarged and replaced by innumerable cysts, consistent with known and established autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
No cysts were seen in the spleen, liver, or pancreas.
Case Discussion
A typical case of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in a 35-year-old patient. There is no increased risk for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) unless the patient is undergoing prolonged dialysis, unlike in some other congenital cystic kidney diseases.
