Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Yes, you should follow this up, ASAP especially if you have symptoms. The size is important to monitor the lesion—whether it is growing or not. The origin of the mass is important—whether it’s a kidney mass or an adrenal mass.
There is a similar discussion on MedHelp about hypodense lesions that may interest you: http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Urologic-Cancers/messages/12.html
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
