Hello
Thanks for query.
You have been detected to have complex cyst in your kidney which has increased in size over a period of last 10 months .

Considering the increase in size and being complex in nature one has to rule out any malignancy .

This can be confirmed only by histopathological examination of a tissue from cyst by doing FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) .

Further mode of treatment will depend upon the histological diagnosis .
