متن کاملSimple renal cysts.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the incidence of simple renal cyst, the relationship between both size and location of cysts, and the effect on calyces; and to correlate symptomatology and effect on the pelvicalyceal system. METHODS Abdominal ultrasound examination was performed in 2010 patients for different reasons. Simple renal cysts were demonstrated in 110 patients harbouring 198 cysts. The cysts...
