Abstract

TORRES ARANDA, José; RODRIGUEZ PINO, Martha  and  DIAZ YANES, Nery. Hyperdense Renal Cyst. A Case Report. Medisur [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.6, pp.779-784. ISSN 1727-897X.

Increased radiological tests have facilitated the discovery of kidney cysts, which sometimes do not meet clear criteria for benignity or malignancy. Among these lesions, the hyperdense cysts pose a challenge to all those responsible for their diagnosis and treatment. For such reasons we decided to present the case of a 23-year-old female patient with a history of sickle cell anemia, who attended the emergency department of the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University General Hospital due to colic-like pain in the left lumbar region unresponsive to analgesics. She was diagnosed with category II renal cyst according to Bosniak classification using computed tomography with and without intravenous contrast.

Keywords : cysts; kidney; kidney diseases, cystic; young adult; case reports.
