Multiple Polycystic Organs in A Middle Age Female: A Rare Case of More Than Ten Years Without Surgical Intervention

Some organs are recognized to develop cysts more common than others do; these include the kidney the liver, the pancreas and the spleen. The structure and function of these organs may play a role. The frequency of polycystic kidney is variable. It is reported as 50 or less in 100000 (5 in 10000), 1 in 400 and 1 in 1000 life birth. Prevalence of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is thought to be overestimated by 2 to 5 folds. Multiple polycystic organs are not common, and reviewing the literature revealed some case reports, which indicates that such cases do not have regular pattern. Inherited polycystic kidney disease has two varieties; autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).
