Abstract
1. 1. The etiology of solitary renal cyst is not known. It is controversial whether such cysts are congenital or acquired. 2. 2. Solitary renal cyst, although uncommon, is not rare in occurrence. 3. 3. The condition occurs with equal frequency on the right or left side. 4. 4. Occurrence is relatively equal in either sex. 5. 5. The most frequent site of origination is the lower pole of the kidney. Next in frequency is the upper pole and lastly the body of the kidney. 6. 6. The condition may be observed at any time of life, but is not commonly seen in the first two decades, but is most common between the ages of thirty and fifty years. 7. 7. The most logical treatment is that of resection of the cyst. However, nephrectomy may be advisable because of extensive destruction of the kidney, or because of uncontrollable hemorrhage following resection of the cyst.
