ABSTRACT

A simple kidney cyst is rarely seen in pediatrics; most are benign but can cause a variety of symptoms. They are typically discovered incidentally during radiological investigations. A wide range of management options for symptomatic cysts depends on the presentation. We present here a case of a large renal cyst in a child, which was symptomatic and managed surgically in Armed Forces Hospital Wadi Aldawasir, KSA, with a good outcome.

Keywords: Huge renal cyst, simple cyst sonography
