| Summary: | Renal cysts are fluid-filled cavities on the surface of kidneys which may be solitary or multiple. They may present as incidental
finding during routine radiological investigations for chronic renal failure, end-stage renal disease or due to associated abdominal
symptoms. During routine cadaveric dissection at the Institute, multiple cysts were observed on the surface of left kidney in a
67-year-old male cadaver. The cysts were carefully observed for gross appearance and histological examination of the cysts and
biochemical analysis of cystic fluid was done. The right kidney was normal in gross appearance but was associated with double
renal arteries. The left kidney, which appeared smaller, showed polycystic appearance with total 14 cysts on the surface of left
kidney and distorted histology. Knowledge of renal cysts and variations in renal vascular anatomy should be kept in mind for
planning effective treatment. |
