Abstract

Renal cysts have become more commonly recognized in asymptomatic patients due to the improvement and frequency of the use of advanced imaging modalities, such as CT and MRI. The purpose of the following review is to illustrate the main and most important aspects of renal cysts, including a checklist of top differential diagnoses and also, their further management and treatment options. Some renal cysts can have significant clinical implications; this is why increased awareness of these renal lesions is of the utmost importance to avoid diagnostic pitfalls or further complications.
