IMPRESSION: Round, well-defined 8 mm hypoechoic lesion with increased through transmission in the lateral aspect of the right kidney corresponding to lesion described on prior CT. This likely represents a complicated cyst. As it is difficult to definitively determine whether this is a simple cyst, consider followup ultrasound to assess lesion stability.

The problem with these tests is that they go on and on but hopefully it will be resolved quickly.
Out of interest due to your age (not saying you're old or anything) but do you worry about healthcare insurance the older you get? Because with my travels in Latin America, I've run across a lot of Americans that have retired to Latin American countries for healthcare reasons in preference to staying in the USA?
