Abstract

Hydrocalycosis is defined as cystic dilatation of a major calyx with a demonstrable connection to the renal pelvis and an epithelial lining of the cyst wall. Although this condition has long been known, there are no sufficient data concerning this pathology in the literature. In this study, we present two complicated hydrocalycosis--'pyocalycosis'--and discussed the therapeutic approaches.
