Abstract
- Cysts of the kidney from a unique and important disease in urology. Although many of them are benign, a few have a tendency to become malignant. Especially the solitary cysts of the kidney are fairly frequent abdominal tumors. So the differential diagnosis between solitary cysts and other malignancies of the kidney is very important, and the surgeon should always hold in reserve a diagnosis of malignancy until the tumor is seen and examined in situ because this solitary cysts occasionally are associated with malignant disease of the kidney. Recently we have experienced two cases of the renal solitary cysts in 63-year old female patient and 52-year old male patient and we present two cases of the renal solitary cysts with the review of the literature on this paper.
