We present an unusual case of a female neonate presenting with a single midline pelvic cyst. Prenatal imaging was suggestive of multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK), but postnatal imaging was atypical for this diagnosis given the location and singular cyst noted.

Prenatal imaging was suggestive of multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK), but postnatal imaging was atypical for this diagnosis given the location and singular cyst noted. The patient ultimately underwent surgical exploration and was diagnosed with an ectopic MCDK. Ectopic MCDK should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unilocular cystic pelvic lesions identified in the perinatal period. |
