Summary Twenty‐eight cases of polycystic kidneys in newborn, infants and children have been investigated clinically and histopathologically. Three more or less distinct morphological types of polycystic kidneys are described and in addition single cases of deviating appearance. The clinical and hereditary aspects are discussed. In Group I (spongy kidney) a single gene recessive heredity has been proved.
