Does a "hypodense renal mass" mean cancer or could it be something less ominous, like a cyst?

My husband underwent KUB and a CT scan on Friday to detect whether he had a kidney stone, which was negative, but he also was shown to have a large hypodense renal mass on his left kidney. His urinalysis also showed blood. I am worried.

A hypodense renal mass can be a cyst, a benign tumor, but can also be cancer. You should find a doctor to have an biopsy, or even surgery if it is needed.


Now you really don't know what you are dealing with and you really need to know before anything else. Good luck

Reply:I would think so, though with blood in his urine I would worry a little more. You should see his doctor soon to discuss these findings.
