ABSTRACT: Introduction: The kidneys are bean-shaped organs, both the kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space, on either side of the spine. The left kidney is slightly higher than the right kidney due to the liver. The Renal cyst is commonly observed in males, with prevalence increasing with age and rarely occurring before 40 years old. Case Report: Renal Cyst was observed on the anterior surface of the left kidney. The cysts were carefully observed for gross appearance and the histological examination of the cysts was done. Conclusion: Simple renal cysts are very common finding during postmortem. They are seen in about half of all persons above the age of 50 years. They may present as incidental finding during routine radiological investigations for chronic renal failure, end-stage renal disease or due to associated abdominal symptoms.
