Brief Answer:
Needs further evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Single isolated cortical cysts are normal after the age of 50 years and are not of any harm. However in your case the cyst is large and will require evaluation
Here is how you should go about it
1. Get a renal function test and urine routine done to rule out infection
2. Contrast enhanced ct will also be helpful in ruling out any malignant form of cysts
I would like you to approach a nephrologist near you as soon as possible for the above investigations
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
