    Multilocular renal cystic disease, a rare benign kidney condition, is typically unilateral. This case report details an asynchronous, bilateral presentation, challenging the diagnostic necessity of unilaterality.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Uropathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Multilocular renal cystic disease (MRCD) is a rare, benign renal neoplasm.
    • Historically, MRCD has been considered a unilateral condition.

    Observation:

    • This report presents a unique case of asynchronous, bilateral multilocular renal cystic disease.
    • The condition manifested in both kidneys sequentially, not simultaneously.

    Findings:

    • The bilateral presentation expands the known spectrum of MRCD.
    • Unilaterality is not an absolute requirement for the diagnosis of multilocular renal cystic disease.

    Implications:

    • This finding necessitates a review of diagnostic criteria for MRCD.

  • Clinicians should consider bilateral involvement in the differential diagnosis of renal cystic lesions.
  • Further research is warranted to understand the etiology and potential for bilateralism in MRCD.
