Are cysts in kidneys cancerous
I am a 56 year old male having a kidney cyst in my left kidney since 2 years. I have no complaints related to the cyst but I get regular scans to keep a tab on it. I was worried if the kidney cysts can turn to cancer? Do they need surgery?

Different categories of cyst are there. Need either CT or mri to categorise them and then decide on management
