Question : what is e/o simple cortical cyst in the upper lobe of the right kidney measuring 3.4x3.0 cms and what happens due to this ?

Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX and thanks for your query.
Simple renal cortical cysts have been increasingly found due to widespread usage of ultrasound scan for abdominal pain.
These cysts need no intervention and need only yearly scan to check for any alarming changes that need intervention.
Wishing you good health.
Best Regards
DR GS
