Hi Doctor, I Am Actually A Healthy 51 Years Old
ITS COMMON TO HAVE SIMPLE CYSTS.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for choosing "Ask a Doctor" Service for your query,
Have seen your details and reports attached and i appreciate your concerns,
Firstly forget what google is saying...I guess you know about paracetamol used for fever,Now google its side effect and it would show death also. See google is artificial intelligence, It can't understand the seriousness of problem neither do it know about age of patient health status etc. So please stop googling.
Its just a simple cyst. Thickness never matters, Its very common to have cysts in liver and kidney.
Ultrasound is just a basic testy and if you are so skeptical about it then get a CT scan of upper abdomen get on a 126 slice machine or 64 slice machine.
However you have nothing as said earlier.
Just forget about it and enjoy.
Now lets discuss why google is showing death, See in 1 in 0000 case a cyst may rupture in a patient who is diabetic have multiple problems(low immunity)...The ruptured cyst get infected and patients dies due to septic shock...But for google its death due to cyst.
Suggestion.
You are fine,
Thanks!
I really thank you and appreciate your kind response. This really gives huge relief to me as I had suddenly got very worried after browsing.
Just one final request - i have also attached 2 additional pdf files, the US report of 2019 and also the image slide of the latest US report of 2021.
Just to get a confirmation of being double sure - after going through these reports, if I understand correctly, even though the last 2 reports says THICK WALLED CYSTIC LESION, you say that is a medical term, but the reports suggest SIMPLE CYSTS - am i Correct ? Pls confirm again.
I was just worried with term - THICK WALLES CYSTIC LESION and started exploring the internet and saw several articles showing Complex Cysts and thought this may be different and cancerous.
So if you confirm, this will remove my worry.
Just to repeat again, I am otherwise healthy, I have no pain, no malaise, etc. When the doctor was doing my US, he kept pressing my abdomen to ask about pain, but no pain. And my LFT is also normal.
Would be grateful if you could just confirm again and I promise not to disturb you again with these unnecessary questions :-)

Hi there,
Thanks for follow up, Please feel free to clear all your doubts i would be more then happy to clear them,
Have seen the reports ant the ultrasounds captures.
As said earlier thickness has nothing to do with malignancy.
Infact thick cysts are better as chances of them breaking accidently and causing infection is rare(as explained earlier),
If a cyst is malignant sir then forget about 2 years with in months the cancers would spread to different [parts of body(metastasis),
i don,t think you need to worry at all.
Regards!
That helps.
But as you said, irrespective of the thick wall mentioned in the report - the indications from the reports that I have attached till now, it appears that this is SIMPLE CYST. right ? Not Complex.

Hi again my dear patient,
if i would be a malignant cyst.They have specific characterstic's.
They would reflect clearly on ultrasound or Ct scan.
Are you trying something for OCD?
Regards.
Just wanted to be sure and double/3 times sure that till now the reports from the basic UltraSounds done till now, appear that of a SIMPLE CYST and not complex cyst. That will rest my mind.

Hi there,
Though i am not a pyschiatrist yet in my career of 40 years plus you could understand that i have gained a lots of experience, No need to mention that in early 90's the quality of education given to a M.B.B.S Graduate is far better then a specialist today...For e.g if you visit a Young Gastro these days and say you have OCD he would straight forward refer you to a pyschiatrist without even looking at the medicines,However as a matter of fact forget about speciality a ideal doctor has to study pyschiatry and attend regular postings but now a days mentality of students is to get post graduate seat and therefore they just know about their speciality.
In case you want to discuss your treatment you can.
As per my experience SSRI works best in OCD.
But if you ask me best treatment of OCD is not medicine rather all you need is to calm down your mind.
So if you were my patient i would have asked you to go for a CT scan test that too at the best machine 126 slice and get your scan done,Once the report reflects a simple cyst your mind would calm down automatically,
Hope you can get what i mean to say....Instead of loading a person with medicines give him a normal report at best possible machine and patient would be ok.
You can discuss with me things whenever you want.
Thanks and Regards!
