Résumé
Multicystic dysplastic kidney is a congenital anomaly typically diagnosed in infancy, rare in adults, in our case of a 25-year-old Sudanese female presented with left flank pain. Imaging showed the left kidney replaced by cysts, consistent with MCDK, and ovarian cyst. She underwent a successful open simple nephrectomy; and histopathology confirmed MCDK. Our case highlights diagnostic and management challenges of MCDK in adults. Conservative management is increasing, especially for asymptomatic patients with normal contralateral kidney function. Healthcare barriers in Sudan, including limited awareness and political unrest, complicate timely diagnosis and treatment. Multidisciplinary care and improved healthcare access are essential.
