Abstract
Renal cysts constitute the most commonly found benign lesions in adults during the diagnostic imaging: a renal cyst is detected in 10 % up to 50 % at abdominal ultrasound [1]. Also the prevalence of renal cysts is more than 50 % in adults 50 years old or older detected in autopsy studies [2].
