JOSHI, Anagha R. et al. Ipsilateral renal dysgenesis or agenesis with tubulocystic anomalies of the mesonephric duct. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1, pp.1-5. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v27i1.2700.
Tubulocystic anomalies of the mesonephric duct (MND) are a rare group of related entities with a perplexing clinical presentation. Ultrasound is a useful screening investigation, which can help identify a dysplastic kidney or point to renal agenesis and identify cystic or tubulocystic changes in the structures derived from the ureteric bud or MND. Further evaluation with MRI can help in characterisation and direct management. The presence of a dysplastic kidney or absence of a kidney should prompt further evaluation for associated ureteric abnormalities such as ectopic insertion or ureterocoele, which could lead to a diagnosis of tubulocystic anomaly of the MND. CONTRIBUTION: The authors describe two cases, briefly outline the diagnostic approach and summarise the literature on management. Reporting radiologists should be aware of these entities.
