Background:

Intrarenal cysts are typically of renal origin.
Pancreatic cysts are usually found in or near the pancreas.

Observation:

A patient presented with flank pain, suspected to be caused by a cystic renal mass.
The patient had well-controlled diabetes and hypertension.

Findings:

Nephrectomy revealed the cystic renal mass was of pancreatic origin.
This represents a rare case of an intrarenal true cyst of the pancreas.

Implications:

This case underscores the need for thorough pathological examination when diagnosing renal masses.
It expands the differential diagnosis for cystic renal lesions.
