    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Megacalycosis is a primary renal calyx disease.
    • Often diagnosed secondary to complications like urinary tract infections or calculi.
    • Can be incidentally discovered during urologic evaluations for other conditions.

    Observation:

    • This article presents four cases of megacalycosis.
    • One case had histologic confirmation alongside radiologic findings.
    • Three cases were diagnosed solely based on radiologic evidence.

    Findings:

    • Radiologic criteria are crucial for diagnosing megacalycosis.
    • Histologic confirmation provides definitive diagnosis.
    • The study highlights the importance of considering megacalycosis in patients with recurrent UTIs or kidney stones.

    Implications:

    • Increased clinical awareness of megacalycosis is essential.
    • Facilitates timely and appropriate treatment planning.
    • Improves patient outcomes by addressing the underlying renal condition.
