Hello and thanks for your query,

Let me reassure you from the start that your physician is doing the absolute right thing in your case. I also agree that this cyst with a calcified appearance is also not concerning. If it was described as a "soft tissue mass" that might be more concerning but I am happy to see that in your case it has the typical appearance of one of these calcified cysts.

Your response is a natural one and I don't feel you are over-reacting. I do want to emphasize again at the same time that you should not be concerned that you have a worrisome or life threatening/life-limiting process going on.

I would get the followup in 3 months which will likely document no change and beyond that you likely won't need any additional followup regarding this.

I thank you again for submitting your query. I hope you found my answer to be both helpful and informative. Should you have additional concerns I would be happy to address them.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
