Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: an unusual presentation as unilateral renal mass in the infant.
The onset of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in infants and children is unusual, and renal involvement is typically bilateral. The presentation of a unilateral renal mass in such a disorder is extremely rare. We report a 2-month-old infant with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease presenting with unilateral renal involvement; the literature concerning this entity is reviewed.
