10 Common Types of Cysts
Type Of Cysts #4: Renal Cyst
A renal cyst is a collection of a fluid in or on the kidney. Since most renal cysts are benign, they can be simply monitored without the requirement of any intervention. However, renal cysts that are suspected to be cancerous should be removed through a surgery known as nephrectomy.
In cystic kidney diseases such as medullary sponge kidney and polycystic kidney disease, numerous renal cysts can be seen. It is estimated that as many as twenty-seven percent of individuals who are more than fifty years of age may have renal cysts that are asymptomatic.
