ABSTRACT

Simple renal cysts are rare in newborns, children and adolescents. They tend to be unique, and occasionally multiple. There is no evidence of family risk. The objective of the presentation was to highlight the importance of early diagnosis of congenital malformations and/or structural defects of the fetus, by ultrasonography, in primary health care. We present the echography of a case of fetal involvement by a simple renal cyst at 36 weeks, with no other ultrasonography findings. The parents decided to continue the pregnancy previous genetic counseling, given the advanced gestational age and good prognosis with these cases, and considering there is no other genetic defect associated. The case was confirmed by postnatal ultrasound.
