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.
