A member asked:
How common and often are inconsequential findings on a ct scan found? 5mm low density kidney lesion are saying is a cyst and 13mm retroperitoneal lymph node?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not unusual to find incidental findings on CT, Renal cyst is not to worry about but the node needs an investigation.
