A simple renal cyst usually remains asymptomatic and requires no invasive treatment.

| Summary: | A simple renal cyst usually remains asymptomatic and requires no invasive treatment. Occasionally, however, some cysts may cause pain, hematuria, hypertension, or obstruction of the collecting system.

The patient was eventually treated successfully with sclerotherapy. |
