Abstract
Although autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease commonly present s in adults, it can occur in children. Usually, renal calcification in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is manifes ted as calculi or as hemorrhage into a renal cyst. An ectopic ureteroc ele is a well-known finding in patients with renal duplication. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a child who had combined findings of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, nephrocalcin osis, and an obstructing ectopic ureterocele.
