    This study describes a rare case of congenital bilateral renal enlargement in a newborn, characterized by increased renal lobes and persistent subcapsular glomerulogenesis. Unique pulmonary findings of delayed maturation and cysts distinguish this case from similar conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Developmental Biology
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Congenital renal enlargement can stem from various genetic and developmental factors.
    • Distinguishing between different causes of renal hypertrophy is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
    • Syndromic conditions like Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome often present with organomegaly, including renal enlargement.

    Observation:

    • A newborn female infant presented with markedly enlarged bilateral kidneys due to increased renal parenchymal mass.
    • Histological examination revealed an increased number of renal lobes and persistent subcapsular glomerulogenesis.
    • Pulmonary assessment showed delayed maturation and multiple small cysts.

    Findings:

    • The infant exhibited a unique combination of renal and pulmonary abnormalities.

  • The renal pathology, while resembling hemihypertrophy and Beckwith syndrome, had distinct features.
  • The absence of other typical anomalies further differentiated this case.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights a novel presentation of congenital kidney disease.
    • Understanding such distinct cases expands knowledge of renal and pulmonary development.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific genetic or environmental factors involved in this condition.
