How serious is: exophytic t2 hyperintense renal lesion, 6cm x 7cm x 5cm? kidney is 12cm length. us indicates simple cyst. some discomfort in abdomen.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not serious: The kidney cyst is a round pouch of smooth, thin-walled tissue usually filled with fluid. Simple cysts are the most common type. They are not the same thing as polycystic kidney disease, which is progressive and can lead to kidney failure The size of these cysts may also increase with age. They usually do not cause symptoms. If found during an ultrasound or CAT scan they are frequently watched. If necessary they can be aspirated and the space filled with a solution that contains alcohol
