Simple renal cysts are not commonly found in children. They occur in a small percentage of cases, with an incidence of 0.2%-0.5%. These cysts are typically solitary and develop in the renal cortex. Pain, infection, hematuria, hypertension, or obstruction of the collecting system are indications for treatment. When intervention is necessary, there are several ways to reduce cyst volume. In this report, we discuss the pediatric case of a solitary giant renal cyst and its therapeutic approach. We present a symptomatic pediatric renal cyst patient treated with a sclerosing agent. A simple renal cyst is a rare condition in children, and its treatment includes conservative management, percutaneous sclerosing agent injection, and surgical approach. Choosing the appropriate treatment according to the patient's condition and clinical symptoms is essential. We think that sclerotherapy should be the first-line therapy before surgery in symptomatic simple renal cysts.
单纯性肾囊肿在儿童中并不常见。它们在少数病例中出现,发病率为0.2%-0.5%。这些囊肿通常是孤立性的,发生于肾皮质。疼痛、感染、血尿、高血压或集合系统梗阻是治疗的指征。当需要干预时,有几种方法可减少囊肿体积。在本报告中,我们讨论一例孤立性巨大肾囊肿的儿科病例及其治疗方法。我们介绍了一名接受硬化剂治疗的有症状的儿科肾囊肿患者。单纯性肾囊肿在儿童中是一种罕见疾病,其治疗包括保守治疗、经皮注射硬化剂和手术治疗。根据患者病情和临床症状选择合适的治疗方法至关重要。我们认为,对于有症状的单纯性肾囊肿,硬化治疗应作为手术前的一线治疗方法。
