Hello
Simple renal cysts are generally asymptomatic in nature and usually it only require follow up ultrasound.
Your brother may need clinical evaluation.
Renal cyst may cause pain if size of cyst increases or there is infection in the cyst.
It generally doesn't require any treatment.Your brother has a small renal cyst and it is not a serious finding.
Get well soon.
