Incidental finding of acquired cystic kidney disease associated renal cell carcinoma in an adolescent with kidney failure.

Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) can occur in patients with chronic kidney disease and kidney failure, and its incidence increases with the duration of dialysis. In adults, ACKD is less common in the pre-dialysis group (~ 7%), but its incidence can be as high as 80% for those who are on dialysis for more than ten years. There is, however, very little information about the prevalence of ACKD in children.
