What Does My Kidney Scan Mean?

I had an ultrasound that showed my right kidney contains a 12.5mm lesion superiorly with an irregular echogenic margin of uncertain nature/ abnormal appearance at upper pole right kidney. What might this mean? I am waiting for a CT scan which will obviously give a clearer picture.

Hi
There can be multiple causes for such a appearance- focal infection in kidney, fat lump, changes due to stones, cyst in kidney or cancer in the kidney. Please wait for the CT scan which will give a clearer picture
