Resumen

DURAN ALVAREZ, Sandalio. Renal cysts: concept and classification. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2007, vol.79, n.1. ISSN 0034-7531.

To help medical students and basic general physicians, a brief review is made  on renal cysts, including those that are a disease by themselves, the  associated with different syndromes, and the ones that may appear evolutively in the course of a renal disease. Knowing the main causes of renal cysts is essential for an appropriate genetic counselling. We consider that this classification, although it is  neither perfect nor complete, may  be useful in medical practice. An effort is made to group in it , in the first place, the diseases with dominant or recessive inheritance, the cysts associated with malformation syndromes, the chromosomal disorders that may have renal cysts, and the  nongenetic cysts that may be congenital or acquired.

Palabras clave : Renal cysts; autosomal recessive and dominant inheritance; cysts associated with malformation syndromes; acquired cysts.
