Question Title: Kidney cyst

My MD had US performed on right ovary only (multiple septations)

Question: Do I need US of kidney to rule out CA because of hx?
Should I be concerned?

Dear Linda
Thanks for your question.
Simple cyst of the kidney are very common as one grows older. A CT scan with contrast is excellent for determining the characteristics of renal lesions. If the cyst is a simple one ( not complex) , you may want to obtain a follow-up ultrasound in two years to make sure it has not changed.
More individualized care is available at the Henry Ford Hospital and its suburban campuses by calling 1 800 653 6568. We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians’ notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly.
