title: Simple renal cysts in children.
abstract: Although renal cysts occur in children less frequently than adults, they are not as rare as once believed. Eight children with simple renal cysts are reviewed. The diagnostic and radiographic studies in each patient showed characteristic findings. A nonoperative diagnosis of simple renal cyst in a child usually can be made with confidence and surgical confirmation is not necessary.
