Hello
You have benign findings.There is nothing to be worried about.
Parapelvic renal cyst is a relatively common finding on routine urological examination and it rarely need treatment.
Parapelvic cysts are clear fluid containing simple cysts.
However it may require treatment if it is associated with pyelonephritis, symptomatic renal stones,back discomfort etc.
So,you may need follow up ultrasound scan.
