"In a paediatric patient with normal renal function, an incidentally discovered simple renal cyst typically carries a benign prognosis and may not require routine follow‑up; however, current guidelines increasingly favour periodic ultrasound surveillance (e.g. every 1-2 years) for several years, especially in the presence of a family history of ADPKD, bilateral/multiple cysts, or clinical suspicion of an underlying cystic kidney disease 14."

"Renal cyst is a generic term commonly used to describe any predominantly fluid-filled renal lesion. Most parenchymal cystic lesions represent benign epithelial cysts; however, malignancies, such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC), may also present as cystic lesions 8."
