Giant hydronephrosis mimicking an ıntraabdominal mass

Özet: Dev hidronefroz nadir görülen bir durum olup, ilerleyici ve bening abdominal kistik tümörlerle karışabilmektedir. Prenatal ultrasonografinin yaygın olarak kullanılmasına rağmen, dev hidronefroz hala erişkin populasyonda görülebilmektedir. Bu vaka takdiminde ilerleyici abdominal distansiyon ve diğer gastrointestinal semptomları olan dev hidronefrozlu, 19 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunulmuştur. Bu nadir olgunun tanısal ve terapötik özellikleri güncel literatür ışığında tartışılmıştır.

Alışılmamış intraabdominal kitleye neden olan dev hidronefroz

Abstract: Giant hydronephrosis (GH) is a rare entity that may mimic progressive and benign abdominal cystic tumors. Despite the increase in the use of prenatal ultrasound, GH may still be seen in the adult population. We report a case of GH in a 19-year-old female who presented with a progressive abdominal distention and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Diagnostic and therapeutic features of this rare case are discussed in light of the current literature.
