Abstract
Cysts of the kidney are of differing etiology, progress and clinical significance. Some may be clearly distinguished by radiological examination—polycystic disease of childhood, adult polycystic disease, simple cortical cysts, medullary sponge kidney, medullary necrosis, pyelogenic cysts, inflammatory cysts, cysts of calculous disease, neoplastic cysts, parapelvic cysts, and perinephric cysts. In others, radiological studies may be of inferential help—multicystic kidney, polycystic disease of the newborn, trisomy syndrome, tuberous sclerosis complex, medullary cystic disease. A classification of renal cysts is presented, with pathologic description.
