Abstract
Simple renal cysts are reported in 9 children. Two children presented with hematuria following trauma and the cyst was demonstrated on the initial excretory urogram. The other 7 had cysts found on excretory urograms in the course of evaluation of various urologic complaints. The diagnostic approach used was identical to that advocated for adults, namely, percutaneous needle puncture once a solid renal mass was excluded by an appropriate screening procedure such as ultrasonography. These cysts are benign lesions similar to cysts in adults and are probably more common than the few reported cases would suggest.
