We report the case of an 81-year-old female with large bowel obstruction secondary to a giant simple renal cyst (16 cm), which was producing a compression of the descending colon against the abdominal wall. Percutaneous drainage of the renal cyst was performed by a urologist. The follow-up CT scan revealed a collapsed cyst with resolution of the bowel obstruction. The patient showed resolution of the symptoms with an improvement in blood test results.
