Summary

Haematuria in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a very common manifestation. The cause of haematuria is often benign with the most common cause being haemorrhage within the renal cyst. But haematuria may also be caused by a coincident malignancy, the diagnosis of which may be missed if not investigated thoroughly. Herein, we present a case of ADPKD who presented to us with haematuria and was later found to have bladder cancer.
