title: Diagnosis and therapeutic management of so-called complicated renal cysts: a report of 4 cases.
abstract: We report 4 cases of so-called "complicated cyst of the kidney". The inconclusiveness of the imaging techniques--i.e. ultrasound, ct scan and arteriography--is discussed. The need to explore the affected kidney is emphasized. We advocate a conservative approach to surgery, with the aim of preserving the kidney provided the lesion can be totally removed.
