    Adult polycystic kidney disease typically presents with enlarged kidneys. This case report highlights the rare occurrence of normal-sized polycystic kidneys diagnosed in an elderly patient.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic disorder.
    • ADPKD is characterized by the development of numerous cysts in the kidneys.
    • Kidney enlargement is a hallmark feature, often leading to kidney failure.

    Observation:

    • This report details a unique case of ADPKD in an elderly individual.
    • The patient presented with kidneys of normal size, contrary to typical presentations.
    • Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) findings were initially misleading due to normal kidney dimensions.

    Findings:

    • The diagnosis of polycystic kidneys was confirmed despite normal kidney size.
    • This challenges the conventional diagnostic exclusion criteria based on kidney volume.

  • The case underscores the variability in ADPKD presentation across different age groups.

    • Implications:

    • Revising diagnostic criteria for polycystic kidney disease may be necessary.
    • Consideration of ADPKD in elderly patients with normal-sized kidneys is warranted.
    • Further research into atypical ADPKD presentations could improve early diagnosis and management.
