Article Synopsis
- Localized cystic disease of the kidney (LCDK) is a rare, non-progressive condition that can be mistaken for cancer, potentially leading to unnecessary surgeries.
- In a study of 14 patients (ages 3-79, mostly middle-aged), most cases presented as unilateral and many patients experienced flank pain or had incidental findings.
- The lesions were multilocular and benign, lacking malignant features, and a review of 75 other cases supports the idea that LCDK should be included in the differential diagnosis for cystic kidney lesions.
