Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Not all septated cyst are malignant, as you have family history of PKD, it could be a PKD , your pain abdomen and blood in urine could also be due to PKD.
MRI is a better investigation for soft tissue swellings, better to get it done.
Consult your doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take
care.
