In adult polycystic kidney patients, heart involvement is frequently observed in the progressing process of the disease, as well as the pathologies created in various other organs. Among others, left ventricular hypertrophy and mitral valve prolapse are generally observed. A 42-year-old female patient, receiving dialysis due to chronic renal failure resulting from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, was admitted to the cardiology outpatient clinic with complaints of high blood pressure, dyspnea and abdominal pain. During clinical examinations, a cyst was detected in the tricuspid valve on echocardiography. In this case study, we aimed to present a patient with a cyst on the tricuspid valve, which has not been previously encountered in adult polycystic kidney patients.
