What does simple renal cyst means?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Benign: Simple renal cyst is like a thin balloon filled with clear fluid. Totally harmless if not causing pain. Very common. Not to worry. If it is a "complex cyst" it needs to be followed.

Simple cyst: 'Simple' cyst means thin wall and clear fluid inside. These are very common. They do not turn into cancer. There is no treatment necessary unless they are very large and create symptoms due to their size.
