UNILATERAL MULTICYSTIC KIDNEY IN INFANTS

MARK M. RAVITCH M.D.1 and MARSHALL C. SANFORD M.D.1

1 The Department of Surgery of The Johns Hopkins University, and The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md.

Four infants are reported with unilateral replacement of the kidney by large cysts. These cases and six similar ones found in the literature show: (a) a large abdominal mass producing pressure symptoms only; (b) a normal contralateral kidney; (c) progressive increase in size of the mass; (d) adequate renal function after resection of the involved kidney.
