On the corticomedullary phase the extrarenal pelvis (blue arrow) could be potentially misinterpreted as a cystic lesion or a perirenal fluid collection (Figure 95-2). The excretory phase shows filling with excreted opacified urine (yellow arrow) confirming a normal finding. Notice the donor renal vein joining to the recipient left external iliac vein (green arrow).

It is important to determine prior to transplantation that such cysts have no current or potential malignancy. When in doubt, a magnetic resonance imaging of the kidneys or a biopsy should always be obtained. These findings have to be thoroughly discussed with the potential recipient prior to implantation.
