cortical cysts in the kidney

My 15 year old son had a MRI of his lower back to diagnose back pain.  The MRI mentions that he has a tiny cortical cyst in the left kidney mid to lower pole measuring 5mm and also in the right kidney mid to lower pole measuring 4mm & 3mm.  The orthopedic doctor did not even mention them...is this something we should be concerned about?

I would be concerned.  The orthopedic doctor is obviously looking for skeletal problems and ignoring all others.  I would take the results to an internist (primary care physician) and ask for more information.
