I have been having stress related weight loss and loss of appetite. Doctors asked me to do a ct scan to rule out bowel cancer.
The CT scan result stated no bilary tree dilatation. However, there is a small renal cyst which i was told is not harmful and doesnt indicate cancer.
Rest all was stated as "unremarkable ".
Please confirm if this cyst is harmless and nothing to worry about?
I live abroad.

Cysts are usually harmless. Only two problems they cause. One is infection or bleeding in cyst. Second is pressure they cause on surroundings. These are not common so dont pose serious complications. Periodic assesment is sufficient.
According to me,there is nothing to worry till it's creating any symptoms or discomfort.
Your loss of appetite and weight loss needs to be taken care off and rule out the cause taking proper history.
May be there could be severe deficiencies.
Any blood reports done?

If its said so in the report ,be rest assured.CT is a highly developed test ,which can detect small nodes as well.You can repeat the test after 6 months to see if the cyst has increased in size or not.That should be good enough for now.
