Abstract

Giant hydronephrosis is defined as the presence of more than 1000 mL of fluid in the collecting system. While usually affecting children, uncommonly, adults may be affected, and it can be mistakenly diagnosed as a tumor. We present a case of silent giant hydronephrosis in an adult, misdiagnosed initially as a tumor, and subsequently confirmed as giant hydronephrosis postoperatively.

Özet

Dev hidronefroz, toplayıcı sistemde 1000 mL’den daha fazla sıvının varlığı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Genellikle çocukları etkilerken, nadiren yetişkinler de etkilenebilir ve yanlışlıkla bir tümör olarak teşhis edilebilir. Başlangıçta tümör olarak yanlış tanı konulan ve akabinde ameliyat sonrası sessiz dev hidronefroz olarak onaylanan bir yetişkinde, sessiz dev hidronefroz olgusunu sunuyoruz.
