The disease presentation of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (OMIM #263200, ARPKD) is highly variable and includes polycystic kidneys, pulmonary hypoplasia, and congenital hepatic fibrosis. The authors report an unusual case of ARPKD presenting with hepatosplenomegaly and cytopenia mimicking acute leukemia.
