TERMINOLOGY
Definitions
- Benign, fluid-filled, nonneoplastic renal lesion
- Most common renal lesion, usually detected incidentally on imaging
- Parapelvic cyst: Simple cyst that indents the renal sinus
- Peripelvic cysts: Lymphatic origin, multiple small cystic lesions in renal sinus
Associated Syndromes
- Associated with tuberous sclerosis, von Hippel-Lindau disease, neurofibromatosis, or Caroli disease
