Hi.
Thanks for your query.
From the description , this looks to be ependymal cyst; normally an innocuous one
and needs treatment only if it becomes symptomatic.
It should be confirmed by having clinical examination by an Urologist and ultrasonography with color doppler mode.
If Urologist opinion says excision , go for it. I hope you are married and have children- you can safely go for excision.
