SUMMARY: Unilateral renal cystic disease (URCD) is a distinct entity that is one of the renal cystic diseases. The clinical importance of URCD is to make a differential diagnosis from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), multicystic dysplastic kidney, multilocular cystic renal neoplasm, and simple cysts. To confirm the diagnosis and to rule out asynchronous ADPKD requires long‐term follow up, especially in younger patients.
