Abstract
Intra-abdominal cystic mass is common and usually presents with non-specific symptoms. When detected, it poses a diagnostic challenge due to its numerous differential diagnoses. We here-in report a 20-year-old male who presented with recurrent left sided loin pain and swelling. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a huge cystic mass in the left flank which was inseparable from the left kidney and intravenous urography confirmed the huge cystic mass to be a dilated extrarenal pelvis secondary to pelviureteric junction obstruction. Right ectopic kidney and bilateral renal malformation were also demonstrated in the patient.
