title: [Renal dysplasia and bilateral cystic kidney of a lengthy development].
abstract: A case is presented of a 54 year old male patient, admitted to the hospital because of indolent abdominal growth limited to the upper and lower left abdominal quadrants with out genitourinary symptoms of ten years duration. The intravenous pielogram showed that the left kidney was enlarged and of cystic appearance with functional exclusion, the right also had multiple cystic cavities. The selective renal arteriography confirmed the above findings. At surgery it was found a huge left cyst, of 20 X 20 cm., with thin walls and dysplastic changes, the ureteropyelic junction was atresic. A survey of the literature is done, stressing the fact that the coexistence of cystic kidneys with dysplastic changes is frequent in the pediatric age, existing few case reports in adults. Brief considerations are made of this nosologic entity and the outline for proper diagnosis and treatment are made.
