C M Sandler, and G K Houston, and J T Hall, and L B Morettin

With the widespread acceptance of ultrasonography and computed tomography for the evaluation of renal masses, the role of guided renal cyst puncture in the evaluation of a suspected renal cyst has undergone revision in recent years. In this article, the authors review the technique, interpretation, and complications of diagnostic cyst puncture and attempt to define its current diagnostic and therapeutic indications.
