"Renal cysts in localised cystic renal disease can involve segments of the kidney or the entire kidney but are always unilateral. The key feature is that the cysts are separated by normal or atrophic renal parenchyma.Unlike ADPKD, localised cystic renal disease is unilateral, and other organs do not have cystic involvement. In contrast to cystic nephroma, no capsule is seen around the cysts."
"T2: multiple cysts of high T2W signal intensity, normal intervening parenchyma"
"T1 C+ (Gd): no enhancing nodularity"
"MRA: increased intensity of the main renal artery and splaying of the intrarenal vessels around cystic structures"

The key feature is that the cysts are separated by normal or atrophic renal parenchyma.Unlike ADPKD, localised cystic renal disease is unilateral, and other organs do not have cystic involvement. In contrast to cystic nephroma, no capsule is seen around the cysts."
"Localised cystic renal disease can present as an incidental finding due to imaging for other reasons. Haematuria, pain and abdominal mass have also been described."
"segmental involvement of the kidney with conglomerate, non-encapsulated cysts of varied sizes, lined with flattened epithelium; cysts appear between regions of normal or atrophic parenchyma"
"Ultrasound shows multiple small simple cysts in a segmental or unilateral distribution with normal renal parenchyma in non-affected segments and intervening between cysts. The contralateral kidney is unaffected 2. There is no Doppler signal in the cysts 3."
"There is a good prognosis and no potential for malignant transformation. Partial and total nephrectomy may be performed when there is a suspicion of malignancy or the localised cystic renal disease is not recognised for its benignancy 1."
