A member asked:
What is difference from renal cyst and compartmentalized renal cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Septation: Renal cysts can be simple (one cavity and one capsule) or septated or having compartments. Those are complex cysts and some of them may have a higher chance of being or turning malignant than simple cysts. Those complex cysts need to be monitored and may need to be biopsied.
