Abstract

Although autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease commonly presents in adults, it can occur in children. Usually, renal calcification in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is manifested as calculi or as hemorrhage into a renal cyst. An ectopic ureterocele is a well-known finding in patients with renal duplication. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a child who had combined findings of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, nephrocalcinosis, and an obstructing ectopic ureterocele.
