ABSTRACT
Multilocular cyst of the kidney is an uncommon lesion. Approximately 70 cases are reported in the literature, with more than half occurring in children. The etiology and pathogenesis are not known, although the microscopic appearance in certain cases resembles that of Wilms' tumor. Three additional cases are presented and the literature is reviewed.

A 38-year-old black man died from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) after a 15-month course. The autopsy revealed a pancolitis and a pneumonia caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV). Exceptionally, there also was a periventricular encephalitis caused by the same organism. Identification of the virus was aided by immunoperoxidase methods.

Immediately after birth, a full-term infant was noted to be in severe respiratory distress and died approximately five hours later, despite resuscitative efforts. Postmortem examination revealed agenesis of the trachea with a 1-mm fistula joining the esophagus and the main stem bronchi at the carina. The right kidney, ureter, Fallopian tube, and cornu of the uterus were also absent. The 25 previously reported cases of agenesis of the trachea are summarized, with special emphasis on associated abnormalities.
