A member asked:

Solid heterogeneous nodule that has doubled in size 2 years plus a right renal cyst, could they be related?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Nodule: Where is the nodule? No the cyst should have nothing to do with the nodule.

Size matters: Any nodule increasing in size could be malignant; better to get it checked. Renal cyst- has to be scanned preferably with contrast ct.
