چکیده
Glomerulocystic disease is a rare cause of cystic kidney diseases and can occur at any age. It is characterized by cystic dilatation of the Bowman's capsule and normal tubules, and needs to be differentiated from other cystic renal diseases. It commonly presents as renal failure. We present a case of a 52-year-old female, with renal failure who was subsequently found to have glomerulocystic disease on renal biopsy.

CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of glomerulocystic disease in a neonate and another in an abortus associated with tracheo-oesophageal fistula and megacystic-megaureter syndrome. The kidney on auto...
متن کاملGlomerulocystic Kidney Disease and Hepatoblastoma in an Infant: A Rare Presentation
Glomerulocystic kidney disease (GCKD) is a rare condition comprising heritable and non-heritable types [Oh et al.: Nephron 1986;43:299-302]. Hepatoblastoma is a sporadically occurring tumor of embryonal origin that is associated with overgrowth syndrome and renal cysts. A concurrent presentation of GCKD with hepatoblastoma was first described in 1989 [Rao et al.: Jpn J Surg 1989;19:583-585]. We...

Dicer is a crucial enzyme for the maturation of miRNAs. Mutations in the Dicer gene are highly associated with Pleuro Pulmonary Blastoma-Family Dysplasia Syndrome (PPB-FDS, OMIM 601200), recently proposed to be renamed Dicer syndrome. Aside from the pulmonary phenotype (blastoma), renal nephroma and thyroid goiter are frequently part of Dicer syndrome. To investigate the renal phenotype, condit...
متن کاملThe triad of nesidioblastosis, congenital neuroblastoma and glomerulocystic disease of the newborn: a case report.
Neuroblastoma is the most common malignant tumor of the newborn, comprising 20% of all malignancies encountered during the neonatal period. We herein report a newborn who was born after 29 weeks' gestation and died unexpectedly at the 12th hour of life with no response to vigorous cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Autopsy findings revealed a right pararenal mass; microscopic examination showed neu...
