Multiple Unilateral Subcapsular Cortical Hemorrhagic Cystic in the Left Kidney Disease: A Case Report of a Potential New Clinical Entity in Young Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Unilateral renal polycystic disease is a rare condition, first described in 1964, with over 60 cases reported worldwide. In 2019, Yoshida et al. [Eur Radiol. 2019;29(9):4843-50] identified 14 patients with unilateral renal cysts, who exhibited distinctive clinical and radiological features: young adults with multiple unilateral subcapsular cortical hemorrhagic (MUCH) cysts in the left kidney. The epidemiology, etiology, clinical significance, and prognosis of this condition remain largely unknown.

Case presentation
