Indeterminant cystic lesion of the kidney

An indeterminate cystic kidney lesion is a fluid containing lesion with uncharacterized tissue that we cannot evaluate because it has properties such as size (too small), or other features that we cannot classify. Unfortunately at this time we are unable to determine the exact nature of the lesion from this scan. Prior imaging or history is valuable to assess stability or interval change.The causes of cystic kidney lesions is broad but does include malignant potential, thus it is important to follow these lesions to determine if the tissue evolves into a concerning lesion.
