Worried . 32f cystic mass
Hi. I’m currently living a nightmare. Last year (Feb 2025) I had an ultrasound of my liver because I was diagnosed with fatty liver, and they incidentally found a mass in my right kidney. At that time I had a CT scan, and it was a Bosniak 2F cyst measuring 4.9 cm. They told me to just monitor it every 6 months.
My doctor didn’t want to give me the referral for the new CT scan because Im young (in his words) but I insisted. After one year, my new CT scan (May 2026) is now showing a Bosniak 4 cyst (5.6 cm) with a 1.1 cm nodule. Then he finally referred me to a urologist.
My urologist sent me for an abdominal MRI. The MRI didn’t catch the nodule and classified it as Bosniak 3. He suggested doing a radical nephrectomy. Thank God I looked for a different urologist — an oncologic urologist in a bigger city — and he offered to do a partial nephrectomy instead. For now I don’t have symptoms. Urologist says I will be okay, but I’m still very scared.
Has anyone in this group had a cystic renal mass? What was your outcome?
Thank you so much for reading.
