Imaging manifestations of Caroli disease with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease: a case report and literature review

A Challenging Case of Hepatoblastoma Concomitant with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease and Caroli Syndrome—Review of the Literature

We report a rare case of an 18-month-old female with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, Caroli syndrome, and pure fetal type hepatoblastoma. The liver tumor was surgically resected with no chemotherapy given. Now 9 years post resection she demonstrates no local or distant recurrence and stable renal function.

Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease

The following fictional case is intended as a learning tool within the Pathology Competencies for Medical Education (PCME), a set of national standards for teaching pathology. These are divided into three basic competencies: Disease Mechanisms and Processes, Organ System Pathology, and Diagnostic Medicine and Therapeutic Pathology. For additional information, and a full list of learning objecti...

Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease

A single gene defect leads to differing degrees of renal and hepatic involvement, with very different phenotypes and clinical outcome within even one affected family. [2] Kidneys are bilaterally enlarged and contain large numbers of cysts throughout the organ, due to the dilatation and elongation of renal collecting ducts. At birth, the interstitium and the rest of the tubules are normal but th...

A 25-year-old pregnant female reported at 28 weeks of gestation with non specific abdominal pain. On evaluation, the ultra-sonogram revealed a single live fetus in breech presentation. Placenta was anterior and high and there was severe oligohydramnios. Both fetal kidneys were enlarged in size (occupying most of the abdominal cavity) and homogenously hyperechoic & studded with numerous variable...
