    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Multilocular cystic kidney disease involves multiple cysts within a kidney. Treatment depends on the contralateral kidney: total nephrectomy for a healthy opposite kidney, or partial nephrectomy if the other kidney is compromised.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Medical Pathology

    Background:

    • Multilocular cystic kidney (MCK) is a rare kidney condition characterized by multiple non-communicating cysts.
    • Understanding the pathogenesis of MCK is crucial for appropriate clinical management and patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • This report details two clinical cases of multilocular cystic kidney.
    • The cases highlight the varied presentations and diagnostic considerations for MCK.

    Findings:

    • Current concepts regarding the pathogenesis of multilocular cystic kidney are reviewed.
    • Treatment strategies are discussed based on the contralateral kidney's status.

    Implications:

    • Total nephrectomy is recommended for MCK when the contralateral kidney is healthy.
  • Partial nephrectomy is reserved for cases with compromised or absent contralateral renal function, preserving renal capacity.
