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.

Renal cyst aspirated before-larger and more painful this time-Who can help?
Hi, I had a 14cms Renal Cyst aspirated which filled up again within six months. I had the operation again but this time following the draining of the cyst it was filled with a 95% alcohol. This was then drained off. I have had no further problems since. Hi, I had a 14cms Renal Cyst aspirated which filled up again within six months.

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.
Does a 2.6 cm renal cyst needs surgery?
There are many reasons that a cyst needs surgery to be removed. It can be removed if it is cancerous or causing other medical problems. It is ultimately up to a physician if a cyst of any size needs to be removed.

It absolutely can!! It's worse than labor pain & contractions!
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 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.

Are exophytic lesions on kidneys cancerous?
Exactly what is an exophytic renal cyst? It is a cyst that grows from the inside-out from the organ in question, where there is a multiplying of these cysts within the kidney, which also leads to a build up of fluid. There are two kinds of cysts that can occur, one being a simple renal cyst, which is filled with liquid - with cysts with a thin wall lining itself with no problems from the first glance. The cyst only contains fluid upon observation, which is seen as either clear or yellow in color after it's been removed. It doesn't pose as a risk for future kidney cancer, so patients can breathe a sigh of relief knowing this detail. The second kind of kidney cyst that comes into the picture is a complex renal cyst which is the opposite of the previous kind, in that the cyst is irregular when the lining is observed along with its shape as well. The features of the cysts vary depending on the type it is, for example, if it is a cyst that has fine walls or those that are coarse and thick, it would mean that it is malignant in nature, thus posing as a risk for developing into kidney cancer.
