What Does This Lumbar CT Scan Report Signify?

Recent lumbar ct revealed small cortical based density posteriorly upper to mid right kidney measures 1 cm and is isodense to adjacent renal cortex. I was told to make appt with urologist. I did and told nurse what was on ct. They seemed quite concerned. They have now scheduled an ultrasoung, appt with urologist and general surgeon. I am a little anxious being that the final impression does say he could not rule out a mass lesion. I used to precept so I know what that means. Why am I scheduled with a surgeon and do these findings pretty much indicate rcc?

Hello,

These CT scan findings could be indicative of a kidney tumor. For this reason, consulting with a surgeon is necessary in order to discuss about surgical resection or needle biopsy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
