A member asked:
What does small renal 9mm cyst means? is this simple or complex cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely simple: The vast majority of simple cysts require no treatment. Pain can occur especially if the cyst enlarges. Cyst sizes in patients who require intervention generally range from 5 to 20 cm. You should see your family practice physician if you are having issues.
