The left kidney shows two large cystic lesions showing a focus of calcification with multiple internal small daughter cysts measuring collectively 11.4 x 8.1 cm which seem to be communicating with each other with a possible communication to the calyceal system that shows urothelial wall thickening and internal echogenic component.
