Contrast enhanced axial CT abdomen of a 56- year-old male shows a well-defined, homogenous, non-enhancing, low density lesion (asterisk) that on inferior images was found to be arising from the upper pole of the right kidney. The findings are suggestive of an exophytic simple renal cyst. A simple cyst, irrespective of its origin, is characterized by absence of calcification, septation, heterogeneity, nodularity, wall thickening or enhancement on post contrast images. Solid and dashed white arrows point to IVC and upper pole of the left kidney respectively. Specks of calcification seen close to pancreas (G) involve the tortuous splenic artery
