I had a renal ultrasound 3 years ago. I had slight microscopic hematura in my urine and it showed a 2cm high intensity mass in the mid right kidney which is likely a cyst.
I am not having any problems now. However, I am having a recheck this week renal ultra sound and a cystoscopy. The urinalysis is basically normal, still some slight hematura, (microscopic), few crystals, few epithelial cells. My blood work is also basically normal. On one report it said it was consistant of a Bozniak type 2 cyst.
Are these still fluid filled cysts? What is a Bozniak type 2 cyst. If they have single septations, what is that.
Just would like to know. Lil

A type 2 cyst is a description of the characteristics of the cyst. A type 2 cyst may contain calcifications or septations and has a minimal risk of malignancy. Septations are divisions within the cyst.
