[Multicystic dysplastic kidney of newborn: report of one case].
A 1-day-old male infant was admitted to Taipei Municipal Chung Hsin Hospital for further investigations due to palpable abdominal mass. Physical examination was essentially normal except that a mass (6x7 cm) was palpable in the left abdomen. Intravenous pyelography demonstrated nonvisualization of the left kidney. Renal sonography revealed a mass with multiple cysts with highly echogenic septa. Renal computed tomography showed multiple cysts in the left kidney. Left nephrectomy was performed. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of multicystic dysplastic kidney. The baby was followed up to age 3 years. His growth and development were in good condition.
