Histopathological study of the endstage kidney in a 50‐year‐old male who died after intermittent maintainance hemodialysis for 10 years was reported. At autopsy, both kidneys were contracted and characterized by grossly visible discrete multiple cysts. Histopathological study of consecutive sections of both kidneys revealed that these cysts were distributed throughout a completely disorganized parenchyma and were composed of dysplastic epithelial cells of different types and of structures, some of which revealed neoplastic transformation.
