Localized cystic disease of the kidney is a rare benign entity that should be separated from hereditary cystic kidney diseases and cystic renal tumours.[1]
It is also known as segmental cystic disease of the kidney, unilateral cystic disease of the kidney[1] and benign multilocular cyst of the kidney.[2]
General
- Rare and benign.
- No family history of polycystic kidney disease.
Presentation:
- Usually an incidental finding (7 of 9 cases).
- Hematuria - uncommon (2 of 9 cases).
Radiology:
- Bosniak classification 2 or 3.
- No cysts in other organs - liver, pancreas.
Gross
Features:[1]
- Focal cystic lesion(s) without a capsule involving the renal papillae +/-renal cortex.
- Contain clear or light-yellow serous fluid.
Note:
- Focal - only part of the kidney should be involved.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Cystis with cuboidal or flat lining epithelium.
- Contiguous with renal collecting ducts.
- Renal parenchyma (renal tubules or glomeruli) with in (cyst) septations.
- +/-Foamy histiocytes.
- +/-Refractile material within the cysts.
Notes - negatives:
- No significant inflammation.
- No capsule.
- No papillary hyperplasia.
DDx:
- Cystic renal tumours.
- Hereditary cystic renal disease, e.g. autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
