Case #14: H11-4326 Renal Dysplasia.
8 year old male with left non-functioning kidney. A unilateral nephrectomy is performed.
Questions #1 and 2: The photomicrograph showed the features consistent with renal dysplasia with dilated calyx, primitive ducts surrounded by smooth muscle fibers. Glomeruli were difficult to identify. Renal dysplasia may be segmental or may involve one or both kidneys. Renal dysplasia is considered as a developmental defect rather than a variant of a cystic kidney disease or an infectious process or a neoplasm. A loss of local gene transcription has been considered.
