Does a 2.7 x 2.2 x 2.6 cm renal cortical cyst needs surgery?
Simple benign renal cyst does not require any surgical intervention
What is T2 hyperintense right renal lesions?
A T2 hyperintense right renal lesion is a mass found on the right kidney. It could be a simple cyst or indicative of a tumor.
What is an extra renal cyst?
A renal cyst is a fluid filled sac that grows on the kidneys. Extra renal cysts occur in areas near the kidneys, such as the pancreas, liver, or other organs.
Is a 2 cm renal cortical cyst serious?
no
34 mm cortical renal cyst on your left kidney What does this mean Is there anything to worry about?
If it is a simple cyst, probably not. There are characteristics that would make it concerning and that are often graded using something called the Bosniak scale.
Is a 3.2 cm upper pole left renal cyst a concern?
A 3.2 cm upper pole left renal cyst is typically considered benign, especially if it is simple, meaning it has thin walls and no solid components or septations. Most simple renal cysts do not cause symptoms or require treatment. However, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation, especially if there are any associated symptoms or changes in size over time. Regular monitoring through imaging may be recommended to ensure it remains stable.
Is a left renal cortical cyst (4.3 cm) something to be concerned about?
A left renal cortical cyst measuring 4.3 cm is generally considered benign, especially if it is simple in nature and asymptomatic. However, it is important to monitor it for any changes over time, as larger cysts can occasionally cause discomfort or complications. Consulting with a healthcare provider for evaluation and potential imaging follow-up is advisable to ensure there are no underlying issues.

What will you do if you have a renal cortical cyst at about 3cm?
If you have a renal cortical cysts at about 3 cm, it will be up to a doctor to determine what will have to be done. It may all depend on whether or not the cyst grows or goes away on its own or not.
What are renal cortical cyst?
Renal cortical cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on the outer surface of the kidney. They are usually benign and do not typically cause any symptoms. Renal cortical cysts are common and are often discovered incidentally during imaging tests for other reasons.
What is an upper pole cyst?
An upper pole cyst is a type of renal cyst located at the upper pole of the kidney. These cysts are often simple, meaning they are fluid-filled sacs that typically do not cause symptoms or complications. They are usually discovered incidentally during imaging studies for unrelated conditions. While most upper pole cysts are benign, monitoring may be recommended to ensure they do not change in size or become problematic.
What is a cortical cyst of the kidney?
The simple renal cyst is a benign non-neoplastic mass of unknown etiology arising in renal parenchyma (cortical cyst) or within the sinus region (parapelvic cyst). The uncomplicated cyst cavity is typically unilocular, usually filled with clear serous fluid and lined with a cuboidal epithelium with no communication to the renal collecting system. It's believed that these cysts arise from tubular or lymphatic obstruction. The incidence of renal cysts increases with age occurring rarely in neonates and the pediatric group, to over 50% in those over age 50.The simple renal cortical cyst or parapelvic cyst is discovered incidentally so it's important to differentiate it from a true renal neoplasm. Renal cysts account for 60-65% of all renal masses. Large cortical cysts can show up as a palpable flank mass and parapelvic cysts can be detected producing extrinsic compression or mass effect on the collecting system on an intravenous pyelography (IVP) exam. Renal cysts are rarely associated with conditions like tuberous sclerosis, von Hippel-Lindau disease, neurofibromatosis, or Caroli's disease. In most of these cases, the systemic condition already exists prior to the discovery of the renal cysts. Atypical renal cell carcinomas can develop as a complex cystic mass, although its appearance on US, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is easily differentiated from a simple cyst. The parapelvic cyst appears on US as a medially located cystic mass with surrounding echogenic walls since it's located within the fatty renal sinus. Keep in mind that multiple cysts can be confused with generalized or even localized hydronephrosis. Look for a lack of central communication between the cysts as a distinguishing feature. With hydronephrosis, the dilated calyces are seen to coalesce centrally like the fingers of a glove as they connect to the renal pelvis and proximal ureter. If the differentiation isn't clear on US, an IVP or CT exam can help with the diagnosis. If the radiologist is confident that the central renal cystic mass or masses represent parapelvic cysts and the finding is completely incidental, then no further imaging followup or investigation is necessary.
