Depends. : Renal cysts are very common and estimated to be present in a quarter of all adults. Simple fluid filled cysts are completely benign, normal, and do not require followup. Complex cysts, with solid components or worrisome features on ultrasound require followup or treatment. Cysts associated with dialysis, polycystic kidney disease, vhl, or medullary sponge kidney should be followed.
