A member asked:
Upper gi surgeon did abdo/pelvic mri & it has found simple cyst on left kidney. does this require any treatment or procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Simple cysts are almost always benign and are quite common in the kidney and liver. No treatment or biopsy needs to be done unless the cyst is very large and pressing on other organs.
