title: [Megapolycalicosis. A case report].
abstract: Megapolycalicosis is defined as a congenital dilatation of calices without evidence of obstruction. In absence of complications such as infection and stones, megapolycalicosis would not have a particular clinical relevance if not for the possible misinterpretation as hydronephrosis. A case of megapolycalicosis is presented.
