Résumé
The perinephric cyst in which cystic structures are in close relation to the kidney and renal pelvis is rare in occurrence. The causes may be obscure but most perinephric cysts around the kidney are a result of trauma, either accidental or an operative complication and doubtful origin, in which there is an encysted collection of urine or serous fluid lying beside and sometimes compressingthe kidney, and sometimes communicating with the pelvis. Clinical presentation is characterized by palpable flank mass and history of trauma. The diagnosis is made by excretory urography, ultrasonogram and CT scan. The treatment is aspiration or encleation of the cyst, or rarely nephrectomy. We report a case of perinephric cyst with hypertension developed in a 58-year-old woman presented with a child-fist sized palpable mass on right upper abdomen.
