Nothing really to do or not do in the meantime. You can expect that they'll want to do an MRI or multiphase CT to see if there are actually any nodular areas that enhance with intravenous contrast, because that would be suspicious for a cystic renal malignancy. If so, these things tend to be really slow-growing and amenable to just being surgically removed with curative intent.Regardless, I don't think the cyst is causing your abdominal pain and was probably just found incidentally.
Complex Cystic Mass 8.5 cm x 5.9 cm x 5.0 cm - Left KidneyYesterday I had an ultrasound of my abdomen as I have had intermittent pain on my right hand side by my gallbladder and liver. I did not expect this result, but now it makes a bit of sense as it is probably pushing things over to the right which is causing my pain.I am a 38 year old female.Symptoms: Tired a lot, Full easily, Nauseous oftenLEFT KIDNEY: Normal size. Normal echogenicity with no hydronephrosis. In the left mid kidney there is a complex cystic mass with several septations and which have internal vascularity and areas of mural nodularity. This cyst measures approximately 8.5 x 5.9 x 5.0 cm.I am having difficulty getting a Urology appointment soon as everywhere is booked up until March or April. I have reached out to my primary doctors as well, but I am curios about what my next steps should be.What should I be eating? What should I be doing while I wait for my appointment? What should I not be doing?What tests should I have?I am assuming due to the size it may need to be surgically removed. Is that generally the outcome?Thank you.
