Congenital multicystic dysplastic kidney in the adult.
Unilateral multicystic kidneys are not infrequent during infancy. However, few cases in adults are reported. A case is presented in which a unilateral multicystic kidney with atresia of the ureter was found as an incidental finding in an asymptomatic elderly patient. The literature is reviewed, and a nonoperative diagnostic approach is favored.
