Abstract:
Calcification is found in 4% to 12% of renal masses due to a number of causes and can be seen in various patterns. This is found in 1% to 3% of the simple renal cysts. Among these a peripheral egg-shell type of calcification is more rare. We experienced the simple renal cyst associated with the thick egg-shell calcification on the renal upper pole in a 66-year-old female complaining upper abdominal discomfort, so we report that with literature.
