title: Benign renal cysts and renal function.
abstract: A series of renal masses found to be simple renal cysts was studied with the 131iodine hippuran quantitative scintillation camera. No significant decrease in function was noted. Parenchymal destruction and functional loss are uncommon in simple cysts regardless of size or position.
