Discussion
Discussion Case 14
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.
