We describe the imaging appearances of a patient with bilateral, synchronous, multiloculated renal cell carcinoma with a predominantly cystic nature. The patient had progressive chronic renal failure. He was initially erroneously diagnosed as having autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) on the basis of the imaging findings. We believe this to be the first report describing bilateral synchronous renal carcinomas replacing the renal parenchyma imitating ADPKD.
