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:

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.
