Abstract
Two cases of extreme (contralateral) renal displacement produced by benign solitary renal cyst have recently been observed. Our search of the radiologic and urologic literature has failed to uncover previous detailed description of this occurrence. Although an apparently uncommon occurrence, such a possibility must now be considered in the differential diagnosis of masses producing extreme renal displacement.Furthermore, it is re-emphasized that the occurrence of severe renal displacement by a retroperitoneal mass is likely to be produced by a lesion of benign or low grade malignant character, rather than by a highly malignant lesion. It is, therefore, likely that such a lesion is amenable to surgical excision.
