2. Renal Cyst
This
is not an uncommon finding. The renal cyst is usually a circular like hypoechoic structure most common found in the cortex though it can be seen in the medulla as well. The cyst can be simple (anechoic without septation) or complicated (echogenic and septated).
The way to distinguish this from hydronephrosis is that the the cyst DOES NOT connect with the renal pelvis. So it is imperative to sweep through to entire kidney in order to evaluate this properly.
