Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the findings of Ultrasound and MRI you have been detected to have Bilateral Renal masses .The rt one being heterogenic in nature which suggest malignant tumor RCC ( Renal Cell Carcinoma )
The cystic lesion with internal echos on left side can be either a complex renal cyst or malignancy .
Consult qualified Uro Oncologist for clinical assessment and further investigations and management .
