Localized cystic renal disease

Discussion:

Here is a case of localized cystic renal disease that is an uncommon, non-familial, non-progressive disease characterized by clusters of cysts within the normal renal parenchyma. In our case, it is discovered incidentally while assessing the patient's renal colic caused by a ureteric stone. It is stationary for three years denoting benignity of this condition.

Differential diagnosis includes; unilateral autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), multilocular cystic nephroma (MLCN), or renal cystic neoplasm.
