Pyelogenic cyst is an intraparenchymal renal cavity lined by transitional cell epithelium which communicates with a calyx via a neck. It is a rare disease, often discovered incidentally. The diagnosis is based on imaging. Asymptomatic forms require simple surveillance and surgical management is only indicated in forms complicated by urinary tract infections or stones. In the light of a case of pyelogenic cyst revealed by upper urinary tract infection in a 12-year-old girl, the authors recall the clinical, histological and therapeutic features of this rare disease.
