Milk-of-calcium renal cyst, evaluated by ultrasound and computed tomography

Milk-of-calcium renal cysts, which when asymptomatic need no treatment, sometimes pose diagnostic problems by conventional radiography. Two such cases are here reported. The first case was further evaluated by ultrasonography only, the second case also by computed tomography and cyst puncture, because of an irregularity in the cyst wall. Both imaging modalities added valuable information.
