Popis: Abstract Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease (ACKD) is regarded as a common late condition of end stage renal damage and expresses its most important features when associated with long term hemodialysis. ACKD is also widely known as a premalignant lesion. Its occurrence in chronically rejected renal allografts is rare and its frequency and behavior in this setting are not well known. Herein we report a case of ACKD in a long standing nonfunctional allograft (215 months) which is not associated with malignancy and briefly review the related literature.
