HelloThanks for query. The C.T. Scan of your mother has revealed simple cyst in both the kidneys . These cysts are benign in nature and present since birth. Many a times these cysts are accidentally detected in ultrasound scanning or C. T Scan done for some other pathology. They are harmless and benign in nature and does not require any treatment. Treatment is advised in special situation if it gets infected or undergoes malignant changes which happens very rarely. Chat Doctor. .
