    Simple renal cortical cysts are rare in children. This study reports two cases of caliceal diverticula progressing into simple renal cortical cysts, an unusual finding in pediatric patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Renal Pathology

    Background:

    • Simple cortical renal cysts are common in adults but rare in pediatric populations.
    • Caliceal diverticula are uncommon renal malformations affecting both adults and children.
    • The natural history of caliceal diverticula typically does not involve progression to simple cysts.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of a caliceal diverticulum evolving into an isolated simple cyst within the renal parenchyma was previously documented.
    • Two additional instances of sealed-off caliceal diverticula have been reported, but without progression to cyst formation.
    • The current study presents two new cases of confirmed caliceal diverticula that have developed into simple renal cortical cysts.

    Findings:

    • This report details two pediatric cases where definite caliceal diverticula transformed into simple renal cortical cysts.

  • This progression represents an unusual complication and potential evolutionary pathway for caliceal diverticula.
  • The findings challenge the typical understanding of caliceal diverticula's clinical course in children.

    • Implications:

    • These cases suggest a potential, albeit rare, mechanism for simple renal cyst formation in children originating from caliceal diverticula.
    • Understanding this pathway may refine diagnostic and management strategies for pediatric renal cystic diseases.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the specific factors contributing to this transformation and its long-term consequences.
