Glomerulocystic disease is a rare cause of cystic kidney diseases and can occur at any age. It is characterized by cystic dilatation of the Bowman's capsule and normal tubules, and needs to be differentiated from other cystic renal diseases. It commonly presents as renal failure. We present a case of a 52-year-old female, with renal failure who was subsequently found to have glomerulocystic disease on renal biopsy.
