Abstract :
Localized cystic disease (LCD) is the accumulation of multiple simple cysts, partially involving
the kidney which are usually detected incidentally. Imaging findings of LCD are important to
differentiate it from other renal cystic diseases and to avoid unnecessary surgery. Although it is
known as a non-progressive condition, we present here the imaging findings of a case with LCD
showing progression in long-term period.
