Fig. 1 (A) T2-weighted axial image through the inferior pole of the left kidney demonstrating multiple high signal cysts in both kidneys. One large bright signal cyst in the left kidney measures approximately 2 cm and demonstrates some heterogeneity (arrow). (B) T1-weighted images showing bright signal in the same 2-cm cyst in the left kidney (arrow). (C) Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images demonstrating greater enhancement of the cyst relative to the other bright signal cysts seen on nonenhanced T1 images (arrow).

Fig. 2 Dynamic gadolinium-enhanced coronal T1-weighted images through both kidneys. (A) Pre-gadolinium image demonstrating three bright signal cysts in the left kidney. One cyst in the left lower pole laterally has bright T1 signal with some heterogeneity (arrowhead). (B) Early post-gadolinium image showing diffuse mild enhancement of both the left lower pole (arrowhead) and left mid-pole cysts. There is no enhancement of the more medial lower pole cyst. (C) Delayed post-gadolinium image obtained at 10 min demonstrating enhancing septa within the lateral left lower pole cyst (arrowhead).

Fig. 3 Image from real time transabdominal ultrasound of the left kidney demonstrating aspiration of the 2-cm lower pole cyst. Approximately 12 cc of purulent material was aspirated. The cyst was subsequently lavaged with saline. Clinical Imaging 2001 25, 114-117DOI: (10.1016/S0899-7071(01)00244-3)
