Renal cysts in pediatric autopsy material.

S Mir, J Rapola, O Koskimies

    Nephron
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Renal cysts were found in 2% of pediatric autopsies. These often occurred with other congenital malformations, particularly esophageal atresia, suggesting a link between renal cystic disease and these conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pathology
    • Nephrology
    • Congenital Malformations

    Background:

    • Renal cysts are a recognized pathology in pediatric populations.
    • The association between renal cysts and other congenital anomalies requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence and types of renal cysts in infants and children.
    • To investigate the co-occurrence of renal cysts with extrarenal malformations, focusing on gastrointestinal anomalies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 6,521 consecutive pediatric autopsies.
    • Classification of identified renal cystic diseases.
    • Documentation of associated extrarenal malformations.

    Main Results:

    • Renal cysts were identified in 136 cases (2%), with renal cystic dysplasia being the most common type.
    • Extrarenal malformations were present in 102 cases (75%) with renal cysts.
    • Esophageal atresia was significantly associated, found in 21% of cases with renal cysts.

    Conclusions:

    • Renal cystic diseases are not rare in pediatric autopsies and frequently accompany other congenital anomalies.
    • The strong association with esophageal atresia highlights the importance of considering renal cystic disease in infants with gastrointestinal malformations.
