- The same gene is implicated in Caroli disease.
- Associated with congenital hepatic fibrosis
Subdivided into:[2]
- Neonatal.
- Infantile.
- Juvenile.
Gross
Features:[2]
- Marked bilateral enlargement - may almost fill the abdomen.
- Smooth cortical surface.
- Poorly demarcated corticomedullary junction.
DDx:
- Multicystic renal dysplasia - has larger variability of cyst size.
