Hello Gulab Singh and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist i can fully understand your concern.
Ultrasound scan is done from outside the body or 'external scan'.
In case of need for doubt, Doctors' always advise a CT scan, or
"internal scan". In your ultrasound scan, a fluid containing cyst is seen, in the right kidney, in central region. As there's some doubt, about it being normal, it's advisable for you to get a CT scan done. You can send a copy of the two scans here in my name, as a direct question, for an expert opinion.

Hi, welcome to HCM.
Cortical cyst in the kidney is most of the time incidental finding.
It requires staging that can be best done by CT scan with contrast.
Do basic urine report, S. creatinine and check BP before CT scan.
Most of the time, it is benign and require no treatment except regular follow up.
Nature of the cyst as determined by CT scan will decide further course of action.
You can consult urologist or you can get back to me also with reports.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
