Localization was cortical in 93.3% of cases, and cyst contents were liquid in most patients (97.3%). Conclusion: Our study shows that renal cysts are less frequent in our department. Further studies ...

Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition which classically manifests with skin lesions such as fibrofolliculomas, pulmonary cysts that predispose to spontaneous pneumothorax ...

Kidney Cyst Symptoms Simple kidney cysts usually don’t cause symptoms. In most cases, a doctor finds them during an ultrasound or computerized tomography (CT) scan done for another reason.

After excision the left kidney was halved by a single cut along its mid-sagittal plane. Twelve intact cortical and medullary cysts protruding from the cut surfaces of the kidney were identified.

A 45-year-old woman was evaluated in the rheumatology clinic because of possible IgG4-related disease. She had polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, as well as kidney and bone lesions. A diagnosis was ...

Cystic renal cell carcinoma is a rare type of cancer. A person may develop cystic renal cell carcinoma if they have treatment for the last stages of kidney failure.

First and foremost, we demonstrate a dramatic exacerbation of cortical cyst formation and rapid progression to kidney failure in salt-restricted ARPKD rats.

Figure 1 – (a-d) Tomographic images of radiofrequency ablation of Bosniak IV cystic lesion. CT without intravenous contrast (a) and post contrast (b) shows the hypoattenuation lesion in the left ...

NEW research has noted an association between kidney cysts with progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk, following radical nephrectomy. Partial nephrectomy is the removal of part of the kidney, ...

The number of kidney cysts overall or cortical cysts did not meaningfully improve risk assessment for progressive CKD over standard clinical testing and evaluation, Andrew D. Rule, MD, of Mayo Clinic ...

Medullary cysts, which typically originate in the distal tubules or collecting ducts, might impair more nephrons than cortical cysts, which arise from the proximal tubule, they suggested. Patients ...

The presence and number of kidney cysts, particularly in the medulla, may be an additional imaging-based biomarker for progressive CKD after radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer.
