Case report
A 30-year-old G5P4, from a non-consanguineous couple, was referred to our center at 24th week due to an "abdominal cyst" of the fetus. The four precedent pregnancies were not complicated and resulted in normal deliveries. The ultrasonography revealed an enlarged right multicystic kidney of the fetus with absence of corticomedullary differentiation. The bladder was normal. The gender of the fetus was masculine. The cystic structures within the right kidney were slightly growing during the rest of pregnancy. The left kidney was normal. The quantity of amniotic fluid and fetal growth were also normal. The baby was delivered at 36th week (2000g). The postnatal sonography confirmed the findings.
