Abstract
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) occurs in one per 20,000 births. Presence of cysts in other organs like adrenal, liver and bladder is even rarer. On reviewing the literature, there is evidence of PKD occurring in conjunction with polycystic liver disease but cysts in multiple viscera are, so far, not reported. A fetal autopsy of a 36-week fetus showed the presence of multiple cysts in the kidney, liver, adrenal and bladder. Further histopathology reports confirmed the diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease. The history of a previous intrauterine death, of another child at 28-week gestation, suggests the presence of familial type. Serial prenatal ultrasonogram did not detect the abnormalities, emphasizing the important role of fetal autopsy in a case with an incomplete obstetric history. The diagnosis of a fetal abnormality aids to counselling the parents to be aware of possible recurrences in new pregnancies.
