Brief Answer:
hi
Detailed Answer:
a small cyst in the kidney is a routine anatomical variation and is of no clinical significance but , a scar can be significant. many a times 'scar' of longstanding duration can lead to a small cyst. a scar can be due to infection which is unusual in men unless they have diabetes or a stone disease. you need to undergo a DMSA scan to know the presence of scars other than the one seen in the ultrasound.
