Can some one interpret these results for me? I have been having issues with my kidneys? Is it cancer??

Here is what the MRI Findings stated.

"There is a 5.8 cm mass extending posterior aspect of the left kidney with a 1.3 cm thick wall that is enhancing with a liquefied center. The inner aspect of the thickened wall is rather nodular and irregular in appearance. Remainder of left kidney is unremarkable, right kidney is unremarkable. "

Here is what the MRI Impression stated.

"A 5.8 cm mass extending posterior aspect of the left kidney, most consistent with carcinoma with central necrosis; less likely possibly a renal abscess although would expect surrounding secondary fat changes and there would be clinical correlation for abscess if this was the case."

UNfortunately, the MRI is leaning towards cancer and less towards a abscess (infection). Your doctor will be able to discuss this much better with you and refer you to a specialist who will also offer you info. A biopsy will be definitive. Very good luck.

Basically, you hae a mass. This mass most closely fits the description of a carcinoma (cancer). It could also be an abscess (hole) but they don't think it's likely. They'd have to look inside to get further info.
