Cystic dysplasia of the testis with terminal ureterectasis and renal absence: evidence of involution of a dysplastic kidney?
Cystic dysplasia of the testis is a rare congenital anomaly, only 29 cases having been previously reported. We report a case of cystic dysplasia of the testis and absent ipsilateral kidney, but an ipsilateral ectatic terminal ureter, suggesting involution of a dysplastic kidney as a reason for the apparent renal agenesis.
