Bladder pathology: Would be next to be ruled out through a cystoscopy. Prostate pathology is also common and can cause hematuria even through benign enlargement or BPH.

Get a workup:: Have you had any testing, like an ultrasound? You have had a test to detect the cyst but was this done when the microscopic hematuria was found? If it was done earlier, it should be repeated. Have you seen a urologist or nephrologist? Please do so.
