Abstract
Objective

To recall the history of the discovery of non-nephron cystic disease, detected simultaneously in 2 hospitals in Madrid, and the vicissitudes that the authors endured during the process of recognizing this disease, while being ignored by the international scientific literature.

Material and method

We analyzed the authors’ first publications and presentations, their correspondence relaying the difficulties in reporting the confusion with adult polycystic kidney disease (APKD) and the subsequent nosological identification of the process. We consulted with individuals who worked with the 2 authors to increase the accuracy and objectivity of the history report.

Results

We confirmed the authors’ remarkable efforts in getting the process definitively recognized despite the notable difficulties.

Conclusions

Rigorous clinical observation recognizes processes ignored by the medical literature, and the correct application of the scientific method helps identify and reveal new nosological entities, confirming with this story's example that, in medicine, there are no exhausted issues.

Keywords:
Renal sinus
Renal hilum
Renal cysts
Resumen
Objetivo

Recordar la historia del descubrimiento de la enfermedad quística no nefronal, detectada simultáneamente en 2hospitales madrileños y las vicisitudes que sufrieron los autores para que el proceso, ignorado en la literatura mundial, fuese reconocido.

Material y método

Se han analizado las primeras publicaciones y presentaciones de los autores, la correspondencia entre ellos con el relato de las dificultades habidas para denunciar la confusión con la enfermedad renal poliquística del adulto y la posterior identificación nosológica del proceso. Se han consultado colaboradores de ambos autores para mayor precisión y objetividad del relato histórico.

Resultados

Se confirma el notable esfuerzo de los autores hasta conseguir el definitivo reconocimiento del proceso a pesar de señaladas dificultades.

Conclusiones

La observación clínica rigurosa reconoce procesos ignorados por la literatura médica y la correcta aplicación del método científico permite identificar o desvelar nuevas entidades nosológicas, confirmando con la ejemplaridad de este relato que en Medicina no hay temas agotados.
