Cystic lymphangiectasia of the kidneys in an infant with nephrotic syndrome.
Cystic lymphangiectasia of kidneys is a very rare abnormality. We report a 2-year-old boy with this disorder who also had congenital nephrotic syndrome. Unilateral nephrectomy abated the problems related to heavy proteinuria.
