symptomatic mullerian duct cysts are uncommon. a young adult male presented to us with a palpable supra-pubic mass, pain and lower urinary tract symptoms. initial imaging modalities showed a large cystic lesion in the pelvis with a non-visualized right kidney. a short, blind ending right ureter on retrograde pyelography added to the confusion. on exploration, the lesion was noted to be separate...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary renal disease. There are some reports in the literature concerning unilateral ADPKD. However, in adults, only a few cases of unilateral ADPKD with agenesis of contralateral kidney have been reported. We present a case of unilateral ADPKD with agenesis of contralateral kidney in a 66-yr-old man. Radiographic image...

I have read with interest the case report “Bilateral multicystic renal dysplasia with Potter sequence. A case with penile agenesis” by Dursun et al.1 The authors stated that the case “provides most symptoms of bilateral multicystic hereditary renal adysplasia (HRA)”. Although most cases of renal adysplasia (agenesis/ dysplasia) are sporadic, some cases are inherited. Hereditary renal adysplasia...

The ACI rats developed hereditary renal malformations including agenesis and hydronephrosis at moderate penetrance. During construction of a variety of congenic strains based on ACI/Mna (ACI), BUF/Mna (BUF), and WKY/NCrj (WKY) rats, we found that the renal malformations were significantly suppressed by introgression of a segment of chromosome 13 of BUF rats containing Pur1 locus. It is plausibl...

pheochromocytomas are cathecolamine producing tumor arising from chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla and extra adrenal tissues. this is a report of a boy presented with headache and hypertension. in radiologic exams, an adrenal mass detected in the left side, with no renal tissue on that side. it was reported an adrenal pheochromocytoma in histopathology. renal agenesis confirmed during surgery...

adult ureteroceles are generally known as simple ureteroceles with minimal obstructive effects 1 that can usually be managed endoscopically. such pathology presented with acute abdominal pain and fever in a 32-year-old man with left renal agenesia, a cranial blind left ureter and left obstructed ureterocele. the retained secretions were suppurative.

Bartter Syndrome (BS) is a hereditary condition characterized by polyuria, renal salt wasting, and hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with high serum renin aldosterone levels. Patients BS usually have symptoms in the first two years of life, but they might also be diagnosed at school age or later. Associations between congenital urinary system anomalies are extremely rare. Here we present case 4-y...

Association of vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheoesophageal, renal and  limb anomalies (VACTERL) is rare anomaly with an incidence of 1.6 per 10000 births. This condition is a combination of anomalies recognized  as a hereditary entity with poor prognosis. Herein, we report VACTERL association presenting with auricle atresia. A male neonate with a birth weight of 2690 grams, head circumference 3...

BACKGROUND Hereditary renal adysplasia is an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance and variable expression that is usually associated with malformative combinations (including Müllerian anomalies) affecting different mesodermal organs such as the heart, lung, and urogenital system. CASE REPORT A case showing pulmonary hypoplasia, hip dysplasia, hereditary renal adysplasia, and M...
