Its just for better interpretation

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in.

Cyst is a pouch of tissue and CT scans are adviced for larger cysts. First of all, don't be worried its just a diagnostic aid and needed for better interpretation. He might need to check the type of cyst, so asked to get it done.
Kindly get it done as per his instructions and also send me the reports if you want a second opinion.
Hope I answered your query

Kind regards
