Unilateral renal cystic disease has been mostly reported in older male patients; however, this case is novel as the youngest reported case in the literature and in a female patient. We present a 22-year-old female with no past medical history and no family history of renal disease that was incidentally found to have unilateral renal cystic disease on computed tomography imaging. The patient's renal function was not impaired and the cystic kidney was found to be functioning appropriately on an intravenous pyelogram. The unilateral cystic disease is benign but must be differentiated from autosomal dominant polycystic disease to prevent morbidity and mortality.
单侧肾囊性疾病大多在老年男性患者中报道；然而，该病例很新颖，是文献中报道的最年轻病例且为女性患者。我们报告一例22岁女性，既往无病史，无肾病家族史，在计算机断层扫描成像时偶然发现患有单侧肾囊性疾病。患者肾功能未受损，静脉肾盂造影显示患侧囊性肾功能正常。单侧囊性疾病是良性的，但必须与常染色体显性多囊肾病相鉴别，以预防发病和死亡。
