Abstract
Summary— A review of 15 cases of unilateral renal dysplasia is presented. Seven patients came to medical attention with urinary tract infection. Only 4 presented with an abdominal mass. Eight patients were found to have ipsilateral ureteric anomalies and 4 of these also had contralateral ureteric problems. Five patients had extra-renal anomalies and these included Turner's syndrome, scoliosis and congenital dislocation of the hip. Histological examination, in all cases, revealed the presence of primitive ducts surrounded by concentric layers of cellular mesenchyme. Metaplastic cartilage was noted in only 7 of the 15 cases.
