Possible & Unlikely: Kidney=cystic organ, microscopic cysts called glomeruli (specialized capillaries) which filter large amounts of liquid from the blood constantly. Many people also have a few quite large (macroscopic) cysts: masses of capillaries which never completed full development &/or fluid & are seen on imaging tests. These are rarely problems or cause pain, yet might if they rapidly expanded (rare!).
