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 is a 1.3 cm lower pole right renal cyst mean?
A 1.3 cm lower pole right renal cyst refers to a fluid-filled sac located in the lower part of the right kidney, measuring 1.3 centimeters in diameter. Renal cysts are often benign and commonly found incidentally during imaging studies. Typically, if the cyst is simple (thin-walled and without internal structures), it usually does not require treatment unless it causes symptoms. However, any changes or concerns should be evaluated by a healthcare professional for appropriate management.
What is mild right renal 3 cm exophytic cyst?
A mild right renal 3 cm exophytic cyst is a fluid-filled sac located on the outer surface of the right kidney, measuring 3 centimeters in diameter. "Exophytic" indicates that the cyst is growing outward from the kidney, rather than being located internally. Such cysts are typically benign and often do not cause symptoms or require treatment unless they lead to complications. Regular monitoring may be recommended to ensure that there are no changes in size or characteristics.
Is a 2.6 cm incidental lower pole renal cyst on your right kidney bad when few months back it was 2.4 cm?
A 2.6 cm incidental lower pole renal cyst is generally not considered bad, especially since it has only increased slightly in size from 2.4 cm. Most renal cysts are benign and do not cause symptoms or require treatment. However, it's important to monitor any changes over time, so discussing the findings with a healthcare provider for appropriate follow-up is advisable.

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.
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 renal cortical cyst?
Renal cortical cysts are fluid filled sacs that develop near the kidneys. Although they can reach sizes of over 15 centimeters, they are usually benign and cause no adverse health problems. . They can, however, be a sign of polycystic kidney disease.
What size is considered large for a cortical cyst?
cortical cyst is very common. In most cases, they are not serious and even cause no symptoms if the cysts are less than 3-5 cm. When the cyst exceeds 5 cm in diameter, it is large and need to be followed by urltrasound, CT scan or MRI.
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.

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.
