چکیده
A non-smoker adult male presented with haemoptysis of short duration. Chest radiograph (postero-anterior view) suggested an opaque left hemithorax.

Both kidneys were enlarged with multiple cysts and thinning of parenchyma. This case describes a unique coexistence RAA and probable autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
