Kidney lesion on lower pole remained at 7mm for a couple of years, but grew to 1cm since last march. it's still very small, but is it normal for kidney lesions to grow that much in a year?

: If you're not seeing a urologist for the following of this lesion, I strongly recommend that you do. This is a small lesion but some malignant growths start as small lesions and become more aggressive. For peace of mind get the best advice from a specialist.It may simply mean continuing followup CT scans or to have an MRI performed.
